licensed premises to meet the criteria of the award."

Robertson, added: "The Best Bar None scheme is an excellent way of
rewarding, recognising and promoting good practice in local
licensed premises. The safety of people who come into our city
centre to enjoy themselves is of paramount importance. I would like

for the great work they are doing. Each pub or bar that takes part
in the Best Bar None scheme is contributing to the night-time
economy of Perth in a very positive way."
