We want to know what you think! Please give us your views. You do not need to know anything about the Late Night Levy to take part — your experience of Newcastle at night is what matters.
Newcastle City Council has commissioned an independent review of the Late Night Levy — a charge paid by pubs, clubs and bars that are licensed to serve alcohol after midnight. The money raised funds things like late night safety marshals, additional police patrols, CCTV, the Safe Haven van on Bigg Market, taxi marshals, street pastors, and training for venue staff to help them recognise and respond to vulnerable people. You can find out more about this by reading this information: Late Night Levy Review 2026: How To Get Involved
The review is being carried out by Dr Christopher Hartworth of Barefoot Research and Evaluation, independently of Newcastle City Council and all partner agencies.
This questionnaire is anonymous and takes around five minutes to complete. The questions are at the bottom of the page, or you can view them in a browser tab by clicking this link: Newcastle Late-Night Levy Review 2026
