Submission History: Motion by Bailie Thomas Kerr:- "Council acknowledges the huge role that Glasgow's hospitality trade and night-time industry plays to our city's economy and culture. And recognise the huge strains put on both sectors following the global pandemic. Council agrees that it's vital we support these sectors in their recovery to protect jobs in the industry and to bolster the city centre's overall recovery. Council commends the role that the Glasgow Licensing Board has played over the years in developing policy that supports hospitality, including a 4am night-club terminal and the new pilot of 1am for bars in the city centre. Councils put on record it's thanks to the Clerk to the Licensing Board and the entire Glasgow Licensing Board team for being so supportive and adaptive to the trade over the covid pandemic. Council agrees that as budgets continue to be strained from national government, our role in supporting this vital industry is becoming increasingly difficult. As such, believes we need a strategic lead to engage and support our night-time economy and work in partnership with the council and the private sector. As such, Council agrees to reiterate its support for a "night tsar" as outlined by the Council Leader back in 2019. Council calls for a cross-party working group to be set up to look at the role and remit with final recommendations to come before City Administration Committee by the end of this year." Help Icon
