The government is to force pubs and clubs to pay for extra policing in trouble spots branded "alcohol disorder zones".

In new proposals to be announced on Friday, Tessa Jowell, the culture secretary, will move to allay fears that the law to extend pub opening hours will lead to a rise in binge drinking in urban centres.

She will announce a government consultation on a plan to hand the police the power to designate special zones where drinking establishments would have to pay a levy towards the cost of policing drunken behaviour.

Jowell will also outline increases in the licence fees paid by pubs and clubs to local authorities to reduce concerns that council tax will have to go up.

Police, who support the proposed levy, have told home secretary Charles Clarke that they need more resources to deal with the increase in public disorder related to alcohol.

Ministers still maintain that the change in the law will help combat public disorder caused by binge drinking.
