A CITY centre nightclub has applied to stay open longer on week nights but residents claim noise levels are already 'intolerable'.

Atik can currently only serve alcohol until 2am on Sundays to Wednesdays but until 3am Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday.

But it now wants to stay open beyond 3am every day apart from Sunday.

Residents living flats near the Park End Street nightclub saying that the 'intolerable' levels of noise in the early hours will now be happen six days a week.

Those in the Stream Edge flats in Fisher Row have urged the city council to reject the application.

Dr Roger Hood, chair of board of directors from the flats management company, said: "The crowd noise in Park End Street between 2.00 a.m. and 3.30 a.m. when intoxicated and excited people emerge from clubs in the area is already intolerable.

"There are frequently people hanging around in the street in animated loud conversation and often very loud shouting and screaming.

He added: "To add further to this disruption of our peace in the early hours of the morning by allowing a large number of people to emerge from ATIK, a club with a large number of clients, on three more nights of the week than at present - thus all week - can only add to the noise and disorder generated in Park End Street."

Oxford City Council's licensing committee will decide on the plans on Monday, September 4 at Town Hall at 5.30pm.
