- The night-time economy (NTE) is activity which occurs between the hours of 6pm to 6am and involves the sale of alcohol for consumption on-trade (e.g. bars, pubs and restaurants). This work looks at the most effective ways to mitigate the costs associated with alcohol in the NTE. It is combined with a tool which estimates (currently measurable) pros and cons for each London Local Authority.
- The policy options assessed cover pricing, licensing, premise design and operations, public realm design, service interventions, and community mobilisation.
- The tool estimates a range of variables including the value of output, additional tax revenue from alcohol sales and the value drinkers receive (over and above the price they pay). It also estimates the associated crime (including drink driving), acute alcohol illness and lost economic output from NTE patrons being off sick from work.
