2006 saw Rhondda Cynon Taf become the first Authority in Wales to adopt the exciting Best Bar None Awards scheme. The UK-wide scheme, which is backed by the Home Office and BII was piloted in Manchester in 2003 and has since been adopted by over sixty other Towns and Cities with great success. Best Bar None is aimed at promoting responsible management and operation of alcohol-licensed premises with the ultimate intention of offering and maintaining a safer, more welcoming, attractive and lively drinking experience.
In 2006, 11 town centre venues achieved accreditation under the scheme pilot and were presented with their awards at a high profile formal dinner held at the Heritage Park Hotel, which was attended by over 60 guests. The scheme was then taken to a wider area in 2007 and due to the massive success, the scheme is now available to all the pubs and bars in the borough.
Best Bar None aims to reward licensees who provide good management, a safe and enjoyable environment for customers, discourage binge drinking and prevent alcohol-related crime. It encourages licensees to act responsibly and take pride in their premises and surroundings and, in doing so, put something back into the Town and their local community. The rewards for licensees include, the prestige of being part of the awards scheme, increased business within the area and lower insurance premiums resulting from the fact that they are running safer establishments.
The biggest winners in Best Bar None are the residents and visitors to Rhondda Cynon Taf, who are able to reap the rewards of a community that is more welcoming, attractive, lively and above all safe.
