- Venue imposed licensing conditions to curb noise and disturbance.
Residents near Manchester's Diecast venue are experiencing "constant anxiety" due to persistent noise, large crowds, and anti-social behavior, including public urination. The venue, a large event and social space that opened in 2023, has been a source of significant disturbance for those living nearby.
Complaints detail continuous loud bass, shouting, and vibrations that disrupt sleep and daily life, with some residents describing it as "devastating." Neighbors have also reported incidents of property damage and intoxicated individuals causing issues outside the venue. Despite investments by Diecast to mitigate noise, licensing conditions were imposed, such as a 23:00 closure for the beer garden.
Manchester City Council confirmed that the venue has undergone appropriate planning and licensing assessments, with conditions in place to minimize negative impacts. The council stated it will take action if consents are breached, responding swiftly to concerns raised by residents.
