Licensees across the west of Cheshire are signing up to a new scheme designed to stop underage drinking in pubs and keep young people safe.

 

 

Cheshire Constabulary's Licensing officer for the Western area, PC Pete Goring, is writing to all licensed premises in the area to ask them to inform him about any 18th or 21st birthday parties they have booked in their venues.

 

PC Goring said: "Last year, a number of incidents highlighted the problems that can occur with underage drinking, in particular to do with the safety of the young people involved. These issues are best tackled by the police and licensees working together.

 

"When venues inform us they are holding parties where some of the guests maybe under 18, we will be able to discuss the event and suggest measures to assist the venue.

 

"This scheme is primarily about the safety of young people. We are ensuring they are protected by enforcing the law on underage drinking."
