People in Bradford are being urged to have their say on the Government’s alcohol strategy.
A ten-week consultation, which started in November, is asking people for their views on five ideas.
These include a ban on multi-buy promotions in shops and off-licences to reduce excessive alcohol consumption and a review of the mandatory licensing conditions to ensure they are targeting problems such as irresponsible promotions in pubs and clubs.
A Home Office spokesman said: “This is not about stopping the sensible, responsible drinking which supports pubs as part of the community fabric, creates thriving town centres, and provides employment and growth.
“The measures in our consultation are targeted explicitly at reducing harmful drinking, and we welcome your views on how we can jointly end the culture of excessive drinking that causes so much damage to our society.”
To take part, visit homeoffice.gov.uk before the end of the consultation on Wednesday, February 6.
