If you have been banned by one of the West Conwy Pubwatch premises then you are banned from all member premises throughout the area; that is what “Banned from One - Banned from All” means.

You may appeal at any time throughout your ban, although your local Pubwatch reserves the right to reject that appeal. If you wish to appeal, the only ways you can do this is either via our appeal page above which is the quickets and fastest way of doing it or by writing in person to the Pubwatch Liaison Officer at your local Police Station. They will then pass your appeal on to your local Pubwatch chair person, who will then discuss it with the local Pubwatch members. You will then be notified of the result of your appeal, please note the Pubwatch committee only meets once a month to discuss appeals normaly with in the first week. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES APPROACH any pub or landlord with your issue as they will not be able to help you and it may end in you having your ban being increasted. .

Yes, but this is at your own expense. However, please remember that Pubwatch is made up of people trying to do their best to protect their staff and customers by keeping unwanted behaviours out of premises.

If the local Pubwatch committee considers the appeal to be frivolous, for example, if you are seen on CCTV committing anti-social behaviour such as damage or violence or you are merely stating that you believe Pubwatch to be an unfair system then we reserve the right not to hear your appeal. A successful appeal could result in variation of the length of the ban if genuine mitigating circumstances are demonstrated by you. It is worth noting that Pubwatch appeal panels may welcome the chance to speak in person to the one who is appealing however, this will be at the discretion of the Pubwatch.

Your ban may be extended by 6 months or more for each breach so you need to ask yourself, 'Is it worth the risk of being spotted?' Please note: anyone who tries to buy drinks FOR a banned person also leaves themselves open to having a ban of their own, particularly if they know about the ban. Also for thoes who continuously breach there ban a portfolio will be built on them and handed to north wales police who may seek a court order against them.

Every one will get a review at the half way point and at this point if you have not breached your ban or been involved in any illeagl activity on licence premises and the reason for your ban did not involve assault on staff members the licensee then pubwatch may lift your ban for good behaviour how ever there will be the condition you avoid being put back on the list for at least six months if you are put forward in this time then the remaining of your original ban will be added to your new ban. If your incedent did involve a member of staff or the licensee then you will have to of compleated at least 75% of you ban before a review and at this point pubwatch will meet with the premises involved and take there advice in to account.

Police & Licensing play no part in deciding whether someone should be banned, or on the outcome of an appeal. They are there to support Pubwatches when the need arises.

There is an implied permission by public houses to members of the public to enter their premises. The public house is entitled to revoke that implied permission and that is what the ban actually does. It is not a Human Rights issue - we are not a public body and it does not concern the exercise of a public function.
