BBC News - Glasgow club bouncers set to use body-mounted cameras
via bbc.co.uk
Security staff at 15 pubs and clubs in Glasgow are to be issued with body-worn security cameras in a bid to reduce alcohol-related violence. The equipment consists of a small camera which relays images to a jacket-mounted screen. This allows the person being filmed to see their image. Strathclyde Police said use of the cameras in other areas of the UK had seen a significant drop in violence. The pilot project will run in Glasgow until 6 January. 18 Dec 2010
UK Pub Sales News: Localism bill 'will allow communities to buy pubs for sale'
Communities will be able to buy pubs for sale and other local amenities under government plans to devolve power to residents' groups.
According to the Morning Advertiser, the Localism bill, which has been published today (December 14th) in parliament, will allow communities to club together to purchase licensed properties.
Communities minister Andrew Stunell commented: "Local facilities have been closing down all over the country, leaving towns and villages without vital services.
"Small community groups that are willing to take over local assets often find that they lack the time and resources to get a plan together and compete with the might and muscle of big business and developers."
However, the bill will give "real power" to local communities and put them "at the heart of local decision making".
Communities secretary Eric Pickle hailed the bill as the "centrepiece" of David Cameron's Big Society concept, as it aims to give councils and residents more powers and freedoms over planning, housing developments and management of public services.

Licensed property news: Pub companies' reforms 'must be examined'
Progress has been made by pub companies in giving tenants a fairer deal, but new codes of practice should be carefully examined, the Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers has stated.
Nick Bish, chief executive of the organisation, made the remarks at the All-Party Parliamentary Save the Pub Group at Westminster earlier this week.
Codes of practice require "a forensic examination to make sure they deliver", he said, according to the Morning Advertiser.
Meanwhile, the Publican reports that MPs heard recommendations from Steve Corbett of the Fair Pint campaign and Clive Davenport of the Federation of Small Businesses.
Greg Mulholland, who chairs the parliamentary group, commented on reforms made by the pub companies.
"This is a critical time to look at what progress has been made and whether this deals with the plan for reform laid out by the Business and Enterprise Select committee and the last and current government," he noted.
If serious changes are not made, government intervention may be required next June, the MP added.

Pubs and restaurants see sluggish November sales - 12/13/2010 - Caterer Search
Major pub and restaurant groups saw slugglish growth over November 2010, with like-for-like sales up 0.4%, the slowest growth rate since May.
New data provided by the Coffer Peach Business Tracker showed that total sales including new openings were up 1.7%. But month-on-month sales were down 5.5% compared to October.
Mark Sheehan, managing director of Coffer Corporate Leisure, said: "These numbers demonstrate tough trading as we head towards the key Christmas period."
"While the leading operators have managed another month of [like-for-like] growth, the outlook for the sector remains relatively challenging," Richard Hathaway, head of travel, leisure and tourism at KPMG added.
Meanwhile, December's trading is expected to be adversely affected by the freezing weather.
The monthly Coffer Peach Business Tracker, monitors sales performance across 17 major pub and restaurant operators, including Mitchells & Butlers, Whitbread, Pizza Hut, Punch Pub Co, Gondola and Tragus.

Christmas drinking survival
Alcohol Concern has come up with these top tips for safer drinking for Christmas partygoers - whether you’re going out or hosting your own celebrations.
What is a unit of alcohol?
Women can drink two to three units of alcohol per day and men three to four units a day without damaging their health.
As a rough guide:
- one pint of normal strength beer contains two units
- one 25ml measure of spirits contains one unit of alcohol
- one 175ml glass of wine (12 per cent abv) contains two units and a 250ml glass contains three units
- one 330ml alcopop (4.5 per cent - 5.5 per cent abv) contains one-and-a-half units to two units
- one 440ml can of strong lager (4.6 per cent - 6 per cent abv) contains three units
Home measures are often larger, so watch the size of your drinks.

Property Repossession News: Homes in need of redevelopment 'will have health and safety issues'
Those thinking of purchasing property in need of restoration must be aware of health and safety issues when it comes to refurbishing buildings, Giffard has said.
Glen Irwin, sustainability director at the company, commented that sealed properties suitable for redevelopment will often have condensation problems and damp smells.
Speaking at the Sustainability Now event, he urged restoration project managers to be very careful when it comes to carrying out redevelopment tasks.
"You have got to think about what you are setting in place - try and pre-empt that you are going to have an air-quality humidity issue and then put other interventions in to deal with that," he suggested.
When it comes to insulating lofts, roofs and walls, five millimetres is enough to offer the best saving overall in terms of cost.
"Everybody thinks automatically that they have got to have two inches of insulation, so they have lost four inches across the width of the room," Mr Irwin explained, adding that nobody has to go to these extremes to make savings.

BBC News - British village life 'dying out' after pub closures
Village life in Britain is "dying out" because rural pubs are closing at a record rate, a report from the National Housing Federation has said.
The Federation said pubs were one of the "cornerstones of traditional village life".
The report's co-authors, the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA), said 893 pubs closed last year following the recession and increased taxes.
The government said it would give rural communities powers to save local pubs.
The federation, which represents England's housing associations, said key services were disappearing "at an alarming rate" and that affordable local housing was the key to saving traditional village life.
It also said that about 400 village shops closed in 2008, while in England, between 1997 and 2008, rural schools shut down at the rate of one a month.
And it said the closures reflected a declining demand for services in villages where local families had been priced out of the area by wealthy commuters, pensioners and second-home owners.
Another factor was that there were too few new homes, it added.
