Our recommendations for new, affordable and flexible spaces:
Work with anchor cultural venues and bars to promote and revitalise their night time offer. This could be through introducing or expanding live music and performance such as comedy, theatre or poetry
Daytime businesses and institutions such as schools to experiment with ‘second life’ evening and night time activities
Work with businesses and other organisations to introduce more evening and night time uses, including community hubs that are not solely based around drinking
Rethink workspace provision now that workspace is in the same use class as retail, allowing for mixed retail and workspace units without requiring planning consent. This could activate high streets by those requiring desk / studio space at night
Promote sustainable, ethical goods at night such as late opening repair shops, vegetable box pick-up spots and healthy takeaway establishments
