Late Night Drinking Tax

Proposals for a tax on pubs and clubs open after midnight and or 1am. suggesting a potential £44k pa raised for EHC coffers. As this is a tax I'll never pay, I quite like the idea and I wouldn't mind the freakish TOWIE magnets being tapped a harder. Although, there might be a moral obligation to turn back on the late night street lighting. www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/Hertfordshire/East-Herts-ponders-late-night-tax-for-pubs-and-clubs-22102012.htm Interestingly and probably tongue in cheek, Nick Shipton has floated the idea of a hairdressers with a bar. https://twitter.com/NickyShip/status/261170529883529217 Shurely, not another Dog and Whistle style planning rouse?

£44,000 per year! That's not even 2 extra police officers for the whole of East Herts. Why bother. It will cost more in administration than its worth.

What's a planning rouse? And why does anyone have a problem with the Dog and Whistle?
