Burgess Hill Town
Council
has been working
closely with Sussex Police and local licensees who have formed a group
called The Burgess Hill and District Pubwatch Scheme.
The object of the group is to promote a safe environment in which
all licensees, staff and customers can work and relax and to reduce
drink-related crime and antisocial behaviour.
The
group clamps down hard on incidents of assault, criminal damage to
property and dealing or taking of drugs on the premises.
If an offender is found guilty of any of the above, then he or she
is banned from all participating premises for two years.
Look
out for the Pub Watch Poster that will be displayed prominently in
participating establishments. You
can then be sure that the landlord is working hard to ensure that you have
an enjoyable experience in their pub or wine bar.
A
list is available below of all participating licensed premises in the
district.
If
you are a new licensee to the area and want to find out how to join the
Pubwatch scheme, then contact
Jo Whitcombe
at jo@burgesshill.gov.uk or telephone
