Southport Pubwatch is a pro-active scheme involving licensees of bars, pubs and night-time economy venues in Southport Town Centre, as well as Merseyside Police, Merseyside Police Licensing, and other agencies.
Information relating to incidents linked to licensed premises is gathered, collated and
exchanged to reduce and prevent violence and anti-social behaviour in order that a safe and secure environment is maintained throughout Southport Town Centre.
