The police raised serious concerns during the meeting, stating, 'Arcadia is the premises in this area in the cumulative impact zone that causes us the most concern. It generates the most crime reports, it generates the most disorder, it generates the most concern from these experienced police officers.' This highlights the significant issues that the venue poses to public safety and civic order.
Legal counsel for the Met Police, Armin Solimani, remarked on the nightclub's claim that extended hours would assist in dispersing patrons, calling it 'completely naive and unrealistic.' This underscores the disconnect between the club's assertions and the reality experienced by law enforcement in the area.
The previous rejection of a similar proposal showed a pattern, as noted by the sub-committee. The case highlighted the continuing struggle between local governance, business interests, and community welfare in managing nightlife in vulnerable areas.
