Bayswater Labour Councillor Maggie Carman has called on Westminster City Council to take strong action against Ma Dames nightclub on Porchester Road following a further night of noise, disruption and anti social behaviour from nightclub vistors leaving in the early hours of Saturday morning

Residents say:

“It began with large gangs of mostly males, congregating outside our house around 12pm -1am drinking, shouting, etc as they gradually wandered towards Ma Dames. There was a small respite between the hours of 1.30 to 3 am as obviously the majority were then inside the club. The major noise kicked off again shortly after 3am as hoards of people began to leave. They do NOT disperse quietly or with any awareness of their disruption. Whoever is managing the security and dispersal are incapable of doing so in an acceptable manner.”

“I have taken photos and a few short videos from our window. Having had my husband set upon when he attempted to record the scenes last time, we remained indoors. There were cars parked in the road, lights on, music blaring, screaming and shouting. Despite the majority of the crowds not being immediately outside our premises, the noise level was unbearable and many small groups continued to loiter along our street until at least 4am.”

Another resident says:

“Revellers shouting, car horns, music from stationary cars with doors open, parking on zig zags adjacent to crossings and on and on.This is not reasonable in a residential area and a clear pattern is developing of a general lack of respect towards residents. A venue that ejects revellers on to the streets at 3am and takes no responsibility in disbursing the crowds and seeing them out of the area is not acting or caring for the community in which they have their business. This lack of care needs to be addressed now.”
