Dealing with the problems of late night drinking
Dealing with the problems of late night drinking
The Home Office has put out a consultation about two measures in the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 that will be implemented through regulations: early morning restriction orders ('EMROs') and the late night levy ('the levy').
The consultation seeks views on certain aspects of EMROs and the late night levy, including the process of adopting an EMRO and/or the levy; categories of business which will be exempt from any EMRO; categories of business which individual licensing authorities may choose to exempt from, or afford a reduction in relation to, the late night levy; and the kinds of services a licensing authority may fund with the 30 per cent of net levy receipts it may retain from the net levy revenue.
More importantly for town and parish councils which suffer from anti-social problems associated with late night drinking. It would appear that groups, such as residents associations or councils can make representations or objections provided they are relevant to the licencing objectives.
The consultation closes on April 12th
