Redbridge Best Bar None
Best Bar None (BBN) is a national award scheme for licensed
premises which recognises and rewards good alcohol management
practices.
The award-winning voluntary programme aims to improve safety and
security, give public confidence, lower alcohol related crime and
encourage excellence in pub and club management.
The scheme encourages licensed businesses to work in partnership
with the Council, Metropolitan Police and Fire Brigade to bring
their establishment up to high-quality standards set out by
nationally recognised criteria.
Find out more about this national awards scheme by visiting the
national Best Bar None
website.
The Redbridge partnership scheme
Best Bar None was successfully launched in Redbridge in
2011. The award scheme is achieved through partnership
working by the applicants with Metropolitan Police, London Fire
Service and the Council’s Environmental Health, Noise/Anti-Social
Behaviour, Trading Standards and Licensing Officers. The
national framework for the assessment of licensed premises is
adapted locally to suit local needs.
