A NIGHTCLUB owner has asked if improvements could be made to the building as part of a wider regeneration scheme.
Enhancements are being made to houses in Stanley Street as part of plans to regenerate the Whitefield area of Nelson.
Dave Geddes, licensee at the Goodnight Club, said the building would look ‘out of place’ once the work had been done.
Mr Geddes asked council chiefs at Nelson Committee meeting if the club could be included in the scheme.
He said: “The council is spending millions on these houses and the club will look a complete mess next to them.
“It was one of the former mayor’s cottage buildings and is quite historic.”
Mr Geddes said he was also having difficulty receiving deliveries of beer and providing parking because of obstructions caused by contractors.
Brian Cookson, Pendle’s regeneration director, said officers would be sent out with a view to solving the parking and access problems.
He said that it would be ‘more difficult’ to include the building in the scheme but that they would ‘look at it’.

Isn't this the nightclub where some chap was murdered outside, a few years ago? Why it is still open is the REAL question, not whether the owner can cream off some of the dosh that is being thrown in bucketloads at the rest of the area. Nelson is not the cosmopolitan centre of the world that this chap seems to portray it as. It is a town that has been taken over by immigrants. There has long been talk of the decline of the shops in Nelson, but in reality, look at all the new shops opening up. Mansha sweet centre is just one. A flash shop front, but to whom does it cater?
.
Obviously as you're from Brierfield your brain must be really small or something. The town has nowhere near been taken over by immigrants, there are a handful of poles and lithuanians who can barely wash their own faces never mind take over a town! As for your hate for Mansha Sweet Centre, did they serve you a dodgy samosa or kebab?
.
It has been open for years and has recently been facelifted and IMO this has been a benefit to the shop fronts as one less shop has stood empty and has been given a fresh life. I guess some grumpy people can never be satisfied!
