A new resource has been released to support local areas in tacking alcohol problems associated with the Night Time Economy (NTE):

The guide has been released by the London Drug and Alcohol Policy Forum (LDAPF) in partnership with Department of Health and Greater London Authority following an event last year.
LDAPF will also be jointly hosting the City Health 2012 event in the City of London's Guildhall in October - download the City Health Flyer here.
A series of licensing changes are being brought about to help address alcohol-related NTE problems, including the late-night levy and early morning alcohol restriction orders (EMROs) as set out in the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011. See here for a series of factsheets on the licensing changes and supporting guidance. However a report last year warned enforcement alone wouldn't solve such issues.
An Alcohol Concern NTE factsheet is also available, or see the Alcohol Policy UK NTE category. See here for presentations from a previous London NTE event in 2009.
