A curb on Lloret's nightlife

The town council of Lloret have approved a package of measures to be put in place which they hope will give a better image of Lloret and improve public safety. Some of the new measures which aim to increase prosecution for the type of antisocial behaviour seen this year, will be in force before the new 2012 holiday season. A curb on the club to club tours often organised by travel companies for the younger groups of holidaymakers will be put in place and also a ban on propaganda leaflets/cards etc. Tour operators will be asked to not give out the wrong impression about Lloret de Mar ie: that Lloret is the type of place where anything goes image. Promoting alcohol sales by giving 2 for 1 offers and 'happy hours' in the bars and clubs will also be banned, closing times will be regulated. Some surveillance cameras will be erected in the nightclub area to help keep a watch on the late night crowds.

Let's hope these new measures do help to make Lloret a better place for all, but let's not also forget that business managers and owners do still have a living to make and in these difficult times do not need more restrictions on top of the ones already in place. Who ever heard of a business that cannot promote their premises and products they sell!
