He said: “I’m going to have a safe room for people that are drunk, they can come in here and chill out. I don’t want to see people alone on the streets, they can have some water and stay safe. It’s a room to use if they need somebody to pick them up, the police really appreciate it.

“I’m thinking about putting lockers in the club, so girls can protect their bags for the night.”

The club, which is currently named Eden after the owner, will introduce student nights on Wednesdays with all drinks priced at £1 and free entry.

He adds: “Since I was nine or 10 I have wanted to own a nightclub. I used to open clubs for people all over the world, in America and the Caribbean. I have hosted parties with Tiesto.
