Dealing with the problems of late night drinking- Government Consultation announcedThe Home Office has issued its consultation on the Late Night Levy and Early Morning Restriction Orders in a document entitled 'Dealing with the Problems of the Late Night Drinking'. In his foreword, Lord Henley, the Minister of State for Crime Prevention and Anti-Social Behaviour Reduction, states that his 'intention is that both EMROs and the Late Night Levy will empower local communities to act to achieve a more viable night time economy'. An EMRO would enable licensing authorities to restrict the sale of alcohol in the whole or a part of their areas between midnight and 6am. The Late Night Levy will allow licensing authorities to raise a contribution from late-opening (midnight to 06:00) alcohol retailers towards policing the late night economy. This is a vital consultation and it is your opportunity to have your say. The consultation runs for 12 weeks from 17 January to 10 April.
