'Pubs and bars are still struggling to recover from the impacts of the pandemic ... Anything which allows businesses to trade longer should be welcomed.'

A bid to allow Glasgow pubs to open until 1am has not been backed by industry figures on the city’s licensing forum, who say it would “not necessarily” be beneficial.

Paul Togneri, who heads the association, said it would “bring Glasgow city centre into line with other parts of the country, where 1am closures are already the norm and work well”. SNP councillors acknowledged the move may not be viable for some premises in the short term but would be available for four years from late 2023.

They said it would be “premature” to allow pubs to open to 1am while a 4am pilot scheme for nightclubs is still being evaluated.
