🚌 Early this morning, the first ever Bee Network night bus - the 36 from Bolton - pulled into Manchester.

The V1 and 36 will run for 24 hours, with a capped fare of £2, ensuring workers in our night time economy can get home affordably and safely.

[Greater Manchester Combined Authority @greatermcr]

Fantastic to be at @ntiaofficial yesterday with 2,000+ representatives from the Night Time Economy. From longer @BeeNetwork hours to 24/7 Live Chat for @gmpolice we’re working together to enhance night time life for 445k+ NTE workers in Greater Manchester.

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

From this Thursday, we will launch two new trial night bus services to Bury and Rochdale.👇🏻

It’s part of a range of improvements coming in this week (see 🧵).

We’re trying to do everything we can to improve everyday life in GM listening to the feedback you give us. 👍🏻

64% and 59% say enhanced street lighting and safer transport options are key areas of improvement.

A strong endorsement of Greater Manchester's approach to clean air by @wearethentia, showing that investment in public transport and reducing congestion are alternatives to unfairly charging workers within our Night Time Economy.

Hopefully other areas will follow.

[Night Time Industries Association @ntiaofficial]

🚨 The NTIA is calling on UK mayors to follow Andy Burnham’s example in investing in sustainable transport solutions amid the pressures of ULEZ and CAZ schemes. 🚨

The late-night economy is vital for local communities, but businesses are facing serious challenges due to rising costs and limited transport options for workers and customers after hours. 🌙

We can’t let sustainability come at the cost of local economies. It’s time for action!

It’s only 7th Jan and I’m already seeing a raft of Hospitality closures this morning.

I’m sadly predicting we will see more at the start of this year, than we did during Covid.

The unexpected extra tax burden of an increase in NI and Business Rates increase, will be the straw that broke the camels back.

Many Govt meeting are taking place this month, but sadly the writings already on the wall for many.

Such an important piece of work between @BrightonHoveCC and @musicvenuetrust, building on our own guidance produced last year.

This document will make such a difference to venues across Brighton and Hove who are grappling with planning applications.

Thread below🧵

[Music Venue Trust @musicvenuetrust]

One of the biggest ongoing concerns for venues is around planning and development - so our Venues Support Team have partnered with Brighton & Hove City Council on launching a new resource at https://t.co/tI8MeB4Om6

Drug driving doesn’t just risk your life, it can ruin your future:

❌Loss of employment
❌Travel bans to certain countries
❌Higher insurance costs

Think before you drive this winter. Stay drug-free behind the wheel. #DontRiskIt
