Three premises licensed to sell alcohol failed to ask under 18s for identification.

All three were issued with a £90 fixed penalty and appropriate advice was given. They will be randomly re-examined within a three month period.
Licensing Officer Colin Pollard said: “We carry out these checks to ensure venues have the right training and processes in place.
“Operations like this reduce the risk of young people being involved in anti social behaviour, committing offences or becoming a victim of crime themselves.
“We will continue to run test purchase operations throughout the year to help keep our communities safe.”
