Noting that:

• Various cities, including Utrecht, Haarlem, Rotterdam, and Leiden, have now adopted a Night Vision;

• There are many policies in the areas of culture, hospitality, and safety, but an integrated and coherent vision for nightlife in Groningen is still lacking;

  
  

  Considering that:

• Night culture is an essential part of Groningen that contributes to our

  economy and appeal;

• Separate domain-specific policy frameworks can lead to a lack of focus and

  mutual cooperation.

• A Night Vision can contribute to a more diverse, safer, and even more vibrant nightlife

  with room for creative developments and an eye for liveability.

  
  

  Requests the Municipal Executive:

  
  

• To draw up a cross-domain Groningen vision on night culture and nightlife.

• In doing so, to identify bottlenecks, opportunities, and ambitions and include them in the

  Groningen Night Vision.

• In doing so, in addition to the municipal organization, to make use of input from residents,

  entrepreneurs, the Night Council, Night Tables, creators and artists, and safety partners

  (such as the Public Health Service (GGD), police, and fire brigade).

• To use existing Night Visions in other municipalities as inspiration;

• To submit the Groningen Night Vision to the council by Q2 2025 at the latest.

• Following or in combination with the Night Vision, to arrive at an

  implementation program to give concrete form to the nocturnal ambitions.
