Get Home Safe
Bangor’s bustling High Street will once again be the place to be during the festive season. With the mix of pubs and clubs in the area, there is something to cater for, for everyone’s needs.
Bangor & Holywood Town Centres Ltd in partnership with North Down Community Safety Partnership, PSNI and North Down Borough Council are encouraging party goers to come to Bangor this Christmas and sample the towns lively nightlife.
While having fun is at the forefront of everyone’s thoughts, the partnership is asking people to have a good time but in a safe and sensible manner. Planning how a person is going to get home is as essential as planning what they are going to wear out that evening. Over the past two years a number of projects have been launched with the aim of making Bangor Town Centre a safer place to relax and go out including the implementation of the Bangor Against Night-time Disorder (BAND) scheme, the introduction of a Safezone outside McCulloughs were people feeling vulnerable or those just wishing for a chat can come and have a coffee.
