Late Night Levy

The Late Night Levy is a local government charge applied to licensed venues that stay open late, typically past midnight. It is intended to generate funds to help address issues associated with late-night activity, such as noise, disorder, and public safety concerns. Venues pay this fee, which supports local efforts to manage nightlife-related problems and improve community wellbeing. The levy is set and managed by the local council, and revenue collected is often used to fund policing, cleaning, and other services during late-night hours.
