New campaign launched in fight to save Brixton Academy by LeahMahon_
CAMPAIGNERS HAVE started a new petition to keep Brixton Academy open following plans to close the venue down for good after a fatal crowd crush.
Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, from Newham, east London and security contractor Gaby Hutchinson, 23, from Gravesend in Kent were victims of the tragedy. They warned the venue’s closure would leave a huge void in Brixton’s “cultural economy,” leading to the loss of jobs and without a place for international artists to perform.
It added: “We cannot lose sight of the tragic incident that occurred in December, but would respectfully ask that the Authorities consider working with AMG and the venue to learn from what has happened and enhance the licence and safety measures to ensure that this never happens again.”
