Police support launch of bar scheme to enhance night life safety in Newquay

As part a commitment to boost safety across bars, pubs and clubs, police in Newquay have supported the launch of a nationally recognised scheme which aims to hold licensed premises to a high standard.

The scheme, Best Bar None, assesses venues on a variety of measures including how customers are kept safe, the security measures they have in place, such as CCTV, and the quality of training provided to staff.

The assessment also focusses on the importance of safety for women and girls.

Newquay is the first town in Cornwall to run the scheme and since its introduction in Spring this year, five businesses signed up for an assessment. All were successful achieving the Best Bar None accreditation.

The certificates were presented at a recognition service on Wednesday 19 November to Project 83, Sailors Arms, Walkabout, the Red Lion, and Towan Blystra.
