Publica and the GLA launch new research evaluating the impact of the Mayor’s Night Time Enterprise Zone programme.
May 2024
The GLA has published Publica's evaluation of the impacts of London’s three latest Night Time Enterprise Zones (NTEZ) – Bromley town centre, Woolwich and Vauxhall. NTEZ are areas that receive a grant of £130,000 and guidance to develop a night time strategy for the area, with an aim to make their streets more welcoming after 6pm, extend businesses opening hours, support local businesses and improve conditions for night workers. Measures of success include an improved experience of safety and increased footfall in the selected areas.
London’s 600 high streets have faced extraordinary challenges in recent years. The effects of the pandemic continue to be seen and businesses face crises including staffing shortages, energy price rises and changing consumer behaviours. The NTEZ programme was developed by the Night Time Commission and implemented by the Mayor of London, Night Czar Amy Lamé and London Economic Action Partnership. Publica documented and evaluated the results of the programme with an extensive report, which revealed:
The Night Time Enterprise Zones Evaluation report written by Publica will now be used by the Mayor, Sadiq Khan, and Amy Lamé to encourage other boroughs to extend opening hours, host events and diversify their high streets at night.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “I’m delighted that my Night Time Enterprise Zone programme has helped to boost high streets in Bromley, Vauxhall and Woolwich so dramatically … This programme shows that by taking a creative approach and offering more to local people after 6pm there can be far reaching benefits.”
Amy Lamé, London Night Czar, said: “Our capital comes alive at night, but all too often our high streets are left behind and those who work at night do not get the support they need. That’s why we established our Night Time Enterprise Zones programme – and it’s fantastic that Bromley, Greenwich and Lambeth have proven that with the right support our high streets can be transformed and the capital more accessible, inclusive and welcoming after 6pm.”
