The LGA has published a resource for councils looking at ways to strengthen and improve the management of the night-time economy.

The LGA said: “As licensing authorities, councils play an important role in regulating the night-time economy. A clear vision for the night-time, underpinned by a statement of licensing policy, can go a long way to setting the right tone, but it is the partnership approaches which have been held up as being most effective.

“This publication brings together examples of initiatives driven by councils and their partners which have sought to address the issues they have faced locally.”
