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’.
