1. Keep Cafe 1001's Backroom Open

On Thursday 30th July, the Tower Hamlets council were called to Cafe 1001 for a noise complaint and subsequently did a sound check on Brick Lane to see if the noise levels were too high. Unluckily for Cafe1001, there happened to be a huge photography show (Rankin) opening upstairs as well as a random live band playing on the street.

Unfortunately, the Local Council assumed ALL noise was caused by the Cafe and imposed a ban for a minimum of 28 days during August, with a likelihood of keeping our backroom closed for as long as possible. Please do not let this become a reality!

We implore you to support us and sign this petition or the physical petition, found in the cafe itself. DO NOT let the council rob you of your local creative hub!
