The situation created by the closure of the Fuse linked to the management of nuisances “illustrates at the right time the need to create a real nightlife policy for Brussels to create more dynamic, safer, more inclusive, more accessible environments. A vision which would make it possible to reconcile the needs of a major international capital to develop culture, parties, music, restaurants, bars and nightclubs and, on the other hand, the right to peace and the fight once morest noise pollution and the nocturnal uproar”, commented the two liberal deputies, in a press release.
For David Weytsman, the mayor of the night would make it possible to settle conflicts like that of the Fuse by working upstream with the political authorities, the residents, the Horeca and the clubs, well before the filing of a complaint.
According to MP Anne-Charlotte d’Ursel, this representative of the nightlife should also work with the sector on specific rules or with the authorities on why not underground areas where standards might be exceeded without disturbing residents. There has recently been a Brussels Night Council (CBN) in Brussels which brings together representatives of the Brussels By Night Federation, the police, SIAMU, Brussels Environment, municipalities, but this body has not been endowed with a captain who embodies the function nor of a specific heading.
