Issue - meetings

To advise Committee of progress with introducing aspects of the Purple Flag scheme in respect of evening and night time economies in Broxtowe.

The Purple Flag scheme offers accreditation to town centres for the safe management of their evening and night time economies.  It was noted that the town centres in Broxtowe were not big enough to receive formal accreditation and the intention was to implement a number of aspects of the scheme. 

The Committee discussed the role of Pub Watch in barring nuisance drinkers from establishments, banning orders and the use of street pastors.  It was considered that a media strategy would be developed alongside the plan to make the public aware of the work being done to promote safety for those enjoying the night time economy.

RESOLVED that the proposed Purple Flag Action Plan be approved.
