Since 2020, over 25% of late-night venues in the UK have closed, leading to concerns about 'night-time deserts'. The Night Time Industries Association is urging for urgent tax cuts to support these vital community spaces.
Editor’s Note: The closure of late-night venues is significant as they play a crucial role in community life and local economies. Without intervention, the UK risks losing these cultural hubs, which could lead to diminished social activities and economic decline in urban areas.
