Pubs, restaurants, clubs, and off-licences are key to many local economies, especially in areas that promote tourism and nightlife. These venues create jobs, drive local spending, and add to a place’s appeal for both visitors and residents. Every alcohol licence application needs to be considered carefully, with attention to health impacts and community wellbeing.

I designed & delivered an interactive tool that provides insight into alcohol-related harm across the local authority, focusing on health and crime data. Designed for planners, public health teams, and legal stakeholders, it shows how alcohol-related issues are distributed across the city.

Built in Tableau, the tool features a dynamic map with zoom, pan, and customisable filters, making it easy to explore ward-level data. Users can drill into specific areas or trends using intuitive controls.

By offering self-service access to licensing data, the dashboard has reduced enquiries from council staff, legal professionals, and the public, saving time and cutting down on admin costs.
