READING:

Milan in Italy wants to ban the sale of takeaway food after midnight. This is to help local residents sleep. Many people have complained about the noise on the streets at night. There are often noisy groups of partygoers in downtown Milan at night. Officials want to ban takeaway food and drink in 12 areas of the city. Some of these areas are known for their "wild" nightlife. The takeaway ban means people would not be able to buy pizza after 12:30 a.m. on weekdays and after 1:30 a.m. at weekends. It would start in mid-May and last until November.

Milan's deputy mayor spoke about the ban. He said: "The goal is…a balance between…entertainment, and the peace and tranquillity of residents." However, many people oppose the ban. An Italian retail association said the ban on food and drink would not stop the noise. He said: "A rule banning people from…eating an ice cream or pizza while taking a stroll…won't solve a thing, as people will still stay outside." He said a 25-year-old will not go home "at the stroke of midnight" because they cannot get a takeaway. He asked: "What about tourists who want to eat ice cream?"
