This bespoke toolkit for Councils is a resource to help them build their capacity to develop and manage their night-time economies.
Available now and ready when you are — there’s no formal closing date for this opportunity.
The Local Government Night-Time Economy Toolkit has been developed by the Office of the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner in partnership with the local government sector to support councils to assess the current state of their night-time economy and capacity to enhance it.
It sets out advice and tools that are available to councils to progress their night-time economy, along a five-stage continuum from ‘Emerging’ to ‘Established’, recognising that every local area is different.
Councils can use the Local Government Night-Time Economy Online Diagnostic Tool to map the maturity of their local night-time economy and the current readiness of their council to grow and manage that growth.
The Night-Time Economy Strategy Template is designed to support council officers in developing or refreshing local night-time economy or 24-hour economy strategies.
In applying this Toolkit, we encourage councils to reach out to the Office of the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner, to walk them through how to map their maturity level and apply the relevant Implementation Guide.
