The Licensing Sub-Committee of Hackney Council decided to modify the conditions of the premises licence for Molly Blooms on 18/11/2025. The decision included closing specific doors after 10 pm, keeping doors and windows closed during regulated entertainment, implementing an External Area Management Plan and a Dispersal Policy, making a contact telephone number publicly available, and installing a sound limiter if noise complaints are substantiated.

The Hackney Licensing Committee noted the report on Late Night Levy activities for Year 8, Quarter 2 and Quarter 3 on 13 November 2025. The report detailed income, training, engagement, the Hackney Nights portal, and policing and welfare initiatives. Hackney Nights will now offer specific training courses annually, including WAVE, Conflict Management, Naloxone, Domestic Violence, and ByStander training, with 50% off First Aid Training.

The Hackney Licensing Committee decided to note the report on 13/11/2025. The report provided updates on proposals for reforming the licensing system, licensing non-surgical cosmetic procedures, and a new retail licensing scheme for tobacco and vapes.
