Nantwich venues are signing up to a new initiative targeting alcohol-related crime and disorder in the town.
The ArcAngel Protected Towns Initiative, being rolled out across Cheshire, requires premises to meet criteria designed to promote responsible drinking and public safety.
Nantwich Civic Hall and the Railway Hotel have become the first licensees to sign up to and be granted ArcAngel status following a period of assessment.
Representatives from each licensed premises were presented with certificates by Mayor of Nantwich Cllr Graham Fenton.
They were also given marketing packs enabling them to promote ArcAngel within their establishments.
Sgt Richard Tomlinson, of Nantwich NPU, has been responsible for implementing the initiative in the town.
He said: “We′re very pleased to have these two premises on board prior to our official launch at the end of November, and have been impressed with their attitude and commitment.
“We are presently reviewing a number of other interested licensees and are keen to promote Nantwich as a safe place to enjoy a night out.”
Sgt Tomlinson has been working in partnership with Cheshire East Licensing and Trading Standards to drive the initiative forward so the town can be ArcAngel accredited within the next month.
