Community Safety World Cup Campaign
The Winchester Community Safety Partnership (WCSP) has launched a campaign to promote responsible behaviour during the World Cup.
With pubs around the District showing live World Cup matches, local organisations are working together to try to prevent alcohol-related crime and disorder during the event.
You can find details of the campaign at: http://www.wdsp.co.uk/communitysafety/
Some of the measures being put in place over the coming weeks include:
The use of polycarbonate glasses in a number of licensed premises signed up to PubWatch.
- The distribution of football related education material e.g. alcohol scratch cards, Red Cards in relation to behaviour in licensed premises and posters relating to Domestic Abuse.
- Extra patrols by police, ACSOs and Neighbourhood Wardens.
- A walkabout by the Drug And Alcohol Group (DARG).
- CCTV monitoring within the City.
- General awareness via A&E, Police Stations, and educational establishments.
- Alcohol Control Zone - the designated public place order will remain in place during the World Cup period except for areas where licensed events are in place.
