The work of Pubwatch in the Isle of Man has been praised by a prominent member of the organisation's national committee.

Frank Marnell visited the Island this week to take a look at the progress being made.

Pubwatch is the licensed trade's equivalent of Neighbourhood Watch and looks to promote responsible drinking in a safe environment.

It's fully supported by the police and those who cause trouble can be banned from all premises signed up to the initiative.

Mr Marnell, who's also joint chairman of Chester Pubwatch, says it has helped to reduce alcohol-related crime and anti-social behaviour throughout the British Isles.
