The Welsh government is set to reopen nightclubs and allow large crowds at outdoor events after a public consultation found that these activities are beneficial to the economy. The decision comes after a number of high-profile incidents, including the evacuation of the V Festival site in Wales last year after a crowd of over 150,000 people descended on the site. The move has been met with criticism from groups who argue that it will lead to more alcohol-related crime and damage to areas.
