BBC London News - Hackney alcohol levy

[MugEdge]

Hackney has enough problems. We don't need all night drinkers as well. Businesses that help people should be set up in Hackney. I grew up here and the last thing hackney needs are pubs, nightclubs, and bars. Solidifying the family units and community should be the main concern of Hackney. more local markets with cheap produce, a warehouse storing building material to encourage people to invest in land or property and build their own homes (more DIY homes), mental and physical medical facilities that function efficiently, and self-defense classes and teaching young men and women tactical awareness so they don't feel pressured into a gang or vulnerable at night. Only the 'drinkers' will miss the late-night establishments.
