Fabric nightclub has been forced to reduce its staff while the venue waits for its November appeal hearing to overturn the Islington Council's decision to revoke the club's license.In an update to the fabric blog, Managing Director Gary Kilby wrote, "It has been a very sad two weeks where we have unfortunately had to allow most of our staff to take redundancy and revert to a small manageable team. We thank all of those loyal staff and wish them well in their career choices." Even if the license decision is appealed, it appears the club will not be immediately ready to run again.As previously reported, the appeal's hearing will take place November 28 at Highbury Magistrates Court. The club's legal team has also proposed changes to the Home Securities Guidance under the Licensing Act which will protect venues from unfair prosecution in the future.In September, we spoke with one of fabric's former directors to learn what could be done to save the club.
