Door supervisors working at 15 city centre pub and club night-spots were found to be working within professional guidelines during a joint inspection conducted by Peterborough City Council, Cambridgeshire Constabulary and the Security Industry Authority (SIA) on Friday.

The inspections were part of a Peterborough Evening Partnership initiative which aims to ensure residents and visitors can enjoy trouble-free leisure and entertainment.

City council licensing enforcement officer Darren Dolby said: “Night-time leisure attractions make an important contribution to Peterborough’s success as a regional centre. We are pleased that pub and club operators recognise the value of ensuring that their door supervisors are fully trained and can carry out their responsibilities in a professional manner.”

Licensing officer with Cambridgeshire Constabulary, Pc Ifor Maddox added: “Regulation by the SIA ensures high standards of training and behaviour of door staff, who play a key role in Peterborough’s night-time economy.

Head of investigation for SIA’s East Region Jackie Munn said: “I am very pleased with the outcome of this operation. All of the door staff checked held valid SIA Door Supervisor licences.”
