Wrexham licensees pass spot checks with flying colours

Wrexham licensees have passed a recent spot check with flying colours.

Wrexham Trading Standards staff and North Wales Police visited nine off-licences and pubs with young police cadets to undertake test purchases of alcohol.

In each of the premises visited, all cadets were asked for identification

Roger Mapleson, Trading Standards and Licensing Lead, said: “Another excellent result for licensees and its reassuring to know that young people would have difficulty buying alcohol in any of the premises visited.”

Protecting children from harm is a priority for the Council’s Public Protection Service. Trading Standards works closely with partners, including the Licensing Service and North Wales Police to restrict access to alcohol by under 18s.
