East London shop BBE starts petition as licence review looms

The record store is seeking community support while highlighting recent noise‑reduction measures with Hackney Council.

BBE, an independent record store in East London, has opened a petition in response to an ongoing review of its operating licence. The move aims to rally local backing as the venue faces regulatory scrutiny.

According to DJ Mag, the shop has previously collaborated with Hackney Council to install noise limiters and acoustic curtains, steps intended to mitigate sound impact on neighbours. The petition seeks to underscore these efforts and secure the store’s future as a hub for DJs, producers and club‑goers.
