Ministry of Sound Saved!
Friday 14th October 2011 | Osh
Time to celebrate!
Ministry devotees from around the world have signed a petition to save the club from being closed. There was a chance that it could have been shut down in light of a building project going on nearby. And the result is...
We did it! Southwark Council’s planning committee has refused the planning application for the Oakmayne tower block. This means that the scheme cannot proceed without major changes. Ministry of Sound is working towards a new vision for the site that addresses the needs of the Elephant & Castle community whilst protecting the jobs of our 200 employees, the future of our club, our record label and our events and media businesses.
A word from the Ministry boss:
"A huge thank you to the 26,000 plus people who signed the petition. Last night the Planning Committee showed why local democracy matters to this country."
Lohan Presencer, CEO Ministry of Sound Group
All's well that ends well, the drama is over, now we can all get back to raving. woohoo!
