8.1 Question from Cllr Klein to the Councillor Selman
In the year November 2017 to November 2018 the Council collected £414,758 late night levy from licensees selling alcohol between midnight and 06:00. Of this more than quarter of a million pounds came from four wards, with more than 60% of this being collected from Licensees in Hoxton East and Shoreditch. More than £300,000 of this total remained unspent at the end of the year, whilst only £56,068 was spent on Council Enforcement Officer Patrols.
