Title: Night-time Business ‘Needs a Lobbyist’
Abstract: Plymouth, MA — City publican Tom Macpherson has voiced the need for Plymouth’s thriving nighttime economy to find not just a manager, but a lobbyist. Proposing that such a position be publicly funded and work closely with several city agencies and institutions, he stressed the importance of representing the interests of restaurants, takeaways, hotels, taxis and buses. As the keynote speaker at a licensing symposium, Macpherson iterated that Plymouth nightlife needs "an evening and night-time economy representative, a liaison officer who can lobby and understand the issues that can affect the whole evening and night-time economy." Macpherson also added: "I don’t believe the executive of this city understands the role of the night-time economy."
