Downing Street commits to oppose council pub restrictions
The UK government has vowed to block local councils from restricting pub patrons from standing or ordering at the bar, following Westminster council’s draft licensing policy proposing a ban on vertical drinking and requiring table service. The policy also suggests limiting pub opening hours and restricting new pub licenses in busy nightlife areas like Soho and the West End. Officials argue these measures aim to reduce excessive drinking and noise, but critics say they threaten the vitality of nightlife districts.
