Save The Fleece From Closure

The independent and extremely adored The Fleece is facing potential closure. If that itself isn't bad enough, they're thinking of turning it into a bunch of flats!

Chris Sharp, owner of The Fleece, says

'The Fleece has thrived as a venue for 32 years. One of the key factors in its success is its location. The lack of residents in the surrounding streets has meant the venue has been able to offer live music 7 nights per week and club nights until 4am at weekends without disturbing anyone. During its entire history The Fleece has not had any issues with noise complaints. If the huge office block located right next door is given the green light to be converted into approx 80 privately owned flats we would anticipate a deluge of complaints as soon as people move in.'

I know it may seem like there isn't a lot everyone can do to save it, however, that is where you're wrong! There is a petition which needs 64,300 supporters, and it's about half way there! 


So if everyone could sign it and help save a much loved venue, one that is close to many peoples hearts and has helped established many local bands
