Senator Ian Le Marquand believes that extending opening hours but with a no-alcohol restriction would help reduce the problems currently caused by the 2 am rush.

He also thinks that if venues were to serve food it would reduce overcrowding around the Weighbridge when people leaving nightclubs rush to nearby takeaways. He also says it would reduce the amount of rubbish in the area.

His comments come just days after the States police called for takeaways in Mulcaster Street to close at 1 am instead of 2.30 am.
