This afternoon we met to discuss how to move forward with the re-opening of the Sweatbox as a music venue on Fridays. This was a closed meeting with officers of the County Council, youth workers, police, head of the school, street pastors and Cabinet member. The review continues and it is hoped this will be completed by the end of April, by which time we shall meet again to hear the outcome.
Meanwhile we decided to set a date for the new 'relaunch' on 7th May. There will be all the usual security at the entrance including bag searches but no breathalysers. It is hoped that this will be a positive step forward to ensure our young people continue to have somewhere they want to go on Friday nights, in a safe and enjoyable environment.
