MORE than 80 troublemakers are currently banned from Plymouth pubs for up to five years, the city's Pubwatch scheme has revealed.
The bans relate to a catalogue of anti-social behavior, including making threats, possession of drugs and weapons, and violent assault.
Pubwatch hands out bans of between one year and five years to people who cause trouble in licensed venues. Since 2017, bars have been sharing the information about offenders via the Disc app, which provides bar and security staff with details of individuals they need to watch out for - and keep out of their premises.
More than 150 venues- mostly pubs but also some shops and restaurants across Plymouth and also Torpoint are now part of the scheme, which has been praised by the police for increasing safety for the public and bar staff. Pubwatch is now encouraging even more vigilance and the thorough investigation of offences as it aims to share its information with the police and help with convictions.
