FOUR more pubs have joined the Bacup and Stacksteads Community Radio Scheme.

The Rose n' Bowl, Commercial Hotel and Farholme Tavern in Stacksteads and the Swan Hotel in Bacup have signed up to the scheme which allows them to have CCTV switched on to the premises in an instant, should trouble occur.

Det Sgt Phil Turner said: "The centre's scheme is great because it allows people involved to contact each other about incidents or individuals.

"It is also monitored by CCTV operators so we can be alerted quickly."

Anyone who wishes to join the scheme can contact crime prevention officer Phil Buck on 01706 237481.
