Pubwatch promotes safe environment only in some areas
Source of power:
Economic
Space of power:
GAMBLING AND ALCOHOL
Description:
Participants felt Pubwatch are "very interested in looking after their clients" and their collaborative working with the council, the police and other organisations helps to create a safe environment. However, they noted that Pubwatch only covers parts of Swindon (e.g., the Old Town) and some areas lack this collaboration and investment. Participants also noted that some pub and business owners have primarily financial motivations and are uninterested in their clients' health.
Quotes from participants:
"The pub watch in Old Town are very interested and invested, but there isn’t that investment elsewhere... there’s some business owners... where the driver is financial, and they’re not that interested in people’s health."
