Ponteland pubs clamp down on yobs
Pub landlords are clubbing together with police to clamp down on drunken yobs.
Following the success of similar schemes across Northumberland, neighbourhood beat manager Paul Henery met licensees in Ponteland and agreed to form their own PubWatch scheme.
All of the 21 licensed premises in Ponteland have signed up, including nine pubs, a leisure centre and social club, eight restaurants, three supermarkets and one off-licence.
PC Henery said: "Due to the relatively small number of pubs in the town centre we have managed to get all of the licensed premises to sign up to the scheme, which is fantastic.
"And it means if someone is banned from one of the pubs then they won't be able to go to a restaurant or somewhere else that sells alcohol and cause more trouble."
For further information about PubWatch schemes contact your local neighbourhood policing team on 03456 043 043.
