• A sustainable night time economy – commit to environmental measures like recycling and sustainable transport.

• Support for voluntary programmes – promote and support initiatives like Best Bar None and other local schemes.

• Working with communities – encourage dialogue between local residents, businesses and regulators.

• Collaborative approach – foster partnerships with transparency and mutual respect.

• Measuring and celebrating success – track progress and share best practice.

  The Charter is open to:

• Local authorities
