Manchester Arenas Clash Over Late Opening Bid

Two of Manchester’s biggest arenas are at odds over a last-minute bid to extend their opening times.

The Manchester Arena, which hosts music concerts and other events, has applied to extend its opening hours until 3am on weekends. However, the nearby O2 Apollo has opposed the bid, arguing that the late opening would create noise and disruption for residents in the area.

The Manchester City Council is set to make a decision on the matter next week, but tensions are running high between the two venues in the meantime.

Both arenas are popular destinations for music fans in Manchester, and the outcome of this dispute could have a significant impact on the city’s nightlife scene.
