Sadiq Khan responds to fabric reopening
“I am delighted that this agreement has been reached and that fabric will now reopen."
Sadiq Khan has released a statement in response to news that fabric will reopen.
The Mayor of London said: “I am delighted that this agreement has been reached and that fabric will now reopen. I have always said that we needed to find a common-sense solution that protects both the future of fabric and the safety of all clubbers – as this does. I especially want to thank Islington Council for working so hard to come to this solution.
“In her first week in the job, my new Night Czar Amy Lamé held conversations with Islington Council, the Metropolitan Police and Fabric. My Night Czar will be working with other businesses, local authorities and Londoners to maximise the economic and social impact of a growing night time economy. I’ll also soon be announcing a new Chair of the Night Time Commission to work with Amy to help deliver a vision for a truly 24-hour city.”
Khan vowed to protect London’s “iconic club scene” during his campaign. This result, and the role of his appointed Night Czar Amy Lamé in the outcome, is a promising indication that he is taking the pledge seriously.
