Night time inspections to ensure Nottingham and Chesterfield’s city centres’ pubs and clubs are being protected by licensed door supervisors showed 98% compliance with the law. In Nottingham, Security Industry Authority investigators and Nottingham Police checked 119 door staff working at 29 city centre venues. There was 97.5% compliance, with only three individuals found working without SIA licences – they will be dealt by the police. In Chesterfield, of the 44 door supervisors at 18 venues inspected by SIA investigators just one was unlicensed, compliance of 98%. Jackie Munn, an SIA Head of Investigation said: “It is important for the public to know that they are being protected by trained and qualified door staff so this result is reassuring.”
