A man who glassed a teenager in the face leaving him scarred for life faces being banned from every licensed premises in Bradford.

Kenneth Margerum, 19, attacked 17-year-old Ashley Boots after he bumped into him at a crowded Bradford nightclub last November.

As previously reported, Margerum of Dracup Lane, Great Horton, pleaded guilty at Bradford Crown Court to wounding.

Judge Linda Sutcliffe sentenced him to 140 hours community service and ordered him to pay his victim £2,500 in compensation at £40 a week.

But Dean Loynes, chairman of the Bradford Inner City Licensees Association, said Margerum should have been given a blanket ban from drinking in the city centre.

He said: "The ban should have been imposed to punish Margerum but also to protect other people. I was astounded but not surprised at the leniency of the sentence."

Mr Loynes said the association's main objective was to make going out in Bradford an enjoyable experience and to create a safe environment. He was concerned that the sentence could encourage others to behave violently because they might not fear the consequences.

"As chairman, I speak for the organisation when I say we will impose a blanket ban on this man and stop him drinking in every independently owned pub in the city centre," said Mr Loynes.

Margerum will be offered the opportunity to appeal against the ban which could last from one to five years.

He has already received a lifetime ban from Jumping Jaks nightclub in the West End area where the attack took place.

Steve Dennis, director of Luminar Plc group which owns the nightclub, said: "He received an instant ban when the attack took place and he will not be allowed on the premises again.

"We will also be approaching other members of the West End Pub Watch scheme to try to enforce a blanket ban for all the bars in the West End."

A spokesman for the West End Pub Watch scheme said a ban was likely following their next meeting.

When contacted and informed of the proposed ban Margerum said: "I am very sorry about the attack and it will never happen again but I do not understand why I am receiving this ban."

Ashley Boots's mother Dawn Boots said: "I am glad other people have taken this seriously. Ashley's life has fallen to pieces because of the attack and he deserves justice."

The proposed ban on Margerum comes after the Government released plans for dealing with people who are drunk and disorderly.

The plans involve issuing £40 on-the-spot fines to drunk and disorderly people and closing rowdy pubs and bars for 24 hours.

"I do not think a £40 fine is a deterrent at all," said Mrs Boot.

"These people should be punished severely because their violent behaviour when they are intoxicated has serious consequences for other people's lives."

She added: "This is a serious issue that needs drastic action."
