Thousands sign petition opposing development next to beloved London venue
Briefly

MOTH Club in east London is facing significant risk from new residential planning applications on Morning Road. The club has solicited public support through a petition that has gathered almost 20,000 signatures opposing the flats. Since its opening in 1972, MOTH Club has been influential in fostering emerging artists. The club claims the planning applications have been intentionally divided to bypass social housing obligations.
