Towards a Safer Night-Time Economy – The Impact of the New Measures on
Local Licensing Regimes

• EMROs (Early Morning Restriction Orders) - enabling licensing authorities to
restrict the sale of alcohol in all or part of their areas
• Exemptions and reductions – considering the categories of premises where
exemptions and reductions under both measures might apply
• Local and business-led initiatives – exploring schemes as possible alternatives or
complements to EMROs or the levy
