Gaming lounge ordered to close for two months
BBCA gaming lounge in Leicester has been ordered to close for two months over concerns about anti-social behaviour linked to the premises.
Leicestershire Police said the closure order was granted for Aim Quest Lounge, in Belgrave Gate, until 3 November.
The force said officers presented evidence to Leicester Magistrates' Court that "activity associated with the location was having a significant negative impact on local residents and businesses".
Aim Quest Lounge said on social media that it would not be closing permanently.
In a statement it said: "The temporary closure is expected to last approximately two months.
"During this time, we'll be carrying out some refurbishment work and preparing the venue for reopening.
"We remain fully committed to Aim Quest and look forward to welcoming everyone back."
