The unusual way nightclubs are ensuring partygoers leave venues quietly

A nightclub in Leeds has devised an unusual method to keep partygoers quiet following an onslaught of noise complaints. People living in a block of flats near Carousel have protested the sound levels after the venue was given permission to stay open later.
To help tackle the issue of rowdy clubbers making noise well into the night, Carousel will hand out lollipops. The venue's operation director, David Nejrup, said lollipops have proven to be an effective method at other late night spots, according to the BBC.
Nejrup told the publication: 'As daft as it sounds, people tend to become quiet when they have something in their mouth.'. The council awarded the Carousel an additional hour to its serving times, permitting the to sell alcohol until five in the morning on weekends.
Partygoers will likely rejoice over the announcement, with the nightlife scene dwindling in other parts of the country, including London. While the venue will be similarly celebrating the win, residents have expressed concern over the noise levels and anti-social behaviour.

MailOnline has contacted Carousel for comment. It comes after Sadiq Khan's claim that London is 'leading the world in its 24-hour policy' was blasted by the public, as images show deserted streets following the closure of 1,000 late venues under his reign.
