TROUBLEMAKERS in Craven will have nowhere to hide after the successful STAND initiative is extended into the district.
The scheme (Skipton Town Against Night-time Disorder) reaches its first birthday this weekend and has already been embraced by all pubs in Skipton.
In the near future licensees across Craven will be invited to sign up to the scheme.
Chief Inspector Tad Nowakowski said there were currently a dozen people who had been frozen out of the Skipton pub scene by STAND.
"These people then go drinking in Gargrave and Cross Hills and outside Skipton," he explained. "That's one of the main drivers to get this system extended throughout the whole of Craven."
Chief Inspector Nowakowski said that although it was a voluntary agreement he was keen that all licensees in Craven should sign up to it.
He said: "I can't make them do it, but I would not be happy if not all of them signed up."
