And that's a shame because you are talking about an industry that does need support there.

And it does provide for community for younger people as well as older people as well.

I have plenty of people that say to me, hey, wouldn't it be great back in the 90s where we actually have those dance spaces?

It's not just about alcohol.

It's about dance and music being culture, being seen as culture and dance floor is being seen as culture.

which we need to recognise that other European countries recognise and we don't.

No, you can't.

And you absolutely should have one with the other as well.

And your point of having Nate Light Public Transport Service was one of the essential components

and recommendations of the nighttime economy task force.

I was on that subgroup and we were very clear.

We needed 24 hour buses and we needed late night bus.

So the stats that I have for you is that during our time, you mentioned us in government, during our time in government, we were the ones who delivered eight additional 24 hour bus routes with five additional planned and funded.

This government has funded for none.

So since this government has been put in place, there has been no additional funding for night light, additional buses or 24 hour services or night links.

And that is a problem because if you don't have public transport provided for people and for workers, it doesn't

It won't allow for a nighttime economy.

So we need to have the public transport issues sorted as well.

And one of the key things this government can do is start funding for public transport properly.
