Leicester venue Mamba is ordered to close for two months due to antisocial behaviour
BBC News
In April, Mamba was told to shorten opening hours and limit the capacity of its outside smoking area. The owners had insisted some of the incidents used as evidence against them were nothing to do with their customers.said magistrates, after viewing CCTV evidence, said: "Other businesses in the vicinity do not have such a high level of criminal disorder associated with them, when compared to the Mamba club.
"But we found that the management, anticipation and response to violent disorder associated with these premises has been extremely poor, and at times virtually ineffective."A spokesperson for the bar, which has already closed, said it had reported a significant number of crimes."We feel scapegoated for the disorder that will continue to exist in the city centre whether our hours are reduced or if we are suspended for a short time period.
