Birmingham City Council acts after police cite 'terrifying risks' at the venue where Cody Fisher died.

Representations on behalf of the club were held in private but ahead of the council's decision, a spokesperson had said revoking the licence would be "wholly inappropriate". Door searches were "inconsistent or haphazard", he told the committee, and, citing bags of white powder, added there was "blatant and widespread" use of drugs.
Before the committee passed judgment, barrister Nicholas Leviseur for Damian Eston, director of Digital Arts Media Ltd which operated Crane, told the hearing the revocation of the licence was "wholly inappropriate in this case".
