Residents Sue to Remove Alcohol License Due to Café Noise Disturbance
Residents around Nobelstraat in Utrecht are taking legal action against the municipality to revoke the alcohol license of café Ginny due to severe noise disturbance from patrons. Resident Jelle Reumer and the group Binnenstad030 argue that shouting and vomiting create significant disruption, with surveys indicating 85% of locals experience noise issues and nearly half report health problems. While café owner Paul van der Rijt claims to have invested €80,000 in soundproofing, residents target the city's licensing policy rather than the business itself. A hearing at the Midden-Netherlands District Court is scheduled for tomorrow.
