Council closes bar
8:35pm Friday 18th April 2008
A bar has been closed by Lambeth Council after CCTV captured fights outside the nightclub.
Fridge Bar in Brixton Hill has been closed by the council's licensing committee after hearing evidence from police about violence there since November last year.
The council described the nightclub as a "magnet for serious criminal activity" and that the closure "sends out a clear message that we won't tolerate badly run bars and clubs that threaten the safety and well being of local people".
