Boost for London nightlife as mayor Sir Sadiq Khan given new powers to overturn council licensing decisions

London's Mayor, Sir Sadiq Khan, has gained new powers to overturn council decisions to keep pubs and clubs closed later, as part of a government initiative to boost nightlife in the city.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves stated that the changes would allow the hospitality industry to have 'the conditions to grow' without 'unnecessarily burdensome red tape.'
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner emphasized that supporting pubs and restaurants is crucial for cultural life and economic growth in London.
A source close to the Mayor remarked that London's nightlife venues should be seen as vital to the city's economy, not as problems to manage.
