Checks have been conducted in Wrexham following recent reports of underage drinking in the town.
Last week Wrexham Council's Trading Standards staff and North Wales Police visited nine off-licences and pubs with young police cadets to do some test purchases of alcohol.
All are pleased to report that all cadets were asked for identification and each premises is to be commended on their vigilance.
This comes after recent reports of underage drinking in Wrexham.
Protecting children from harm is a priority for the council’s Public Protection Service. Trading Standards works closely with partners, including the Licensing Service and North Wales Police to restrict access to alcohol by under 18s.
Roger Mapleson, Trading Standards and Licensing Lead, said: “Another excellent result for licensees and its reassuring to know that young people would have difficulty buying alcohol in any of the premises visited.”
