Evening and night-time economy is considered to be economic activity that takes place between 5pm and 6am.

The review is being undertaken by members of the councils' Joint Overview and Scrutiny Committee, chaired by Worthing councillor Bob Smytherman.

Mr Smytherman said: “The night-time economy brings massive benefits to our wider area, bringing in millions to the economy and creating hundreds of jobs. For those reasons it’s vital that we get as many views as possible to feed into this work.”
