FIVE people have been banned from the 34 pubs in Wisbech's Pubwatch scheme.

The scheme was set up on July 25 and includes pubs in the town and surrounding villages.

The four men and one woman were banned after they verbally and physically abused landlords. In one incident a landlord suffered an injury.

PCSO Sue Clarke, who was responsible for setting up Pubwatch, said: "All licensees have a legal duty to ensure that disorderly, argumentative and violent behaviour does not occur on their premises and to help prevent crime.

"As a result of these five individuals' behaviour, the licensees of Wisbech pubwatch have jointly decided they are exercising their right to ban them from their premises."

The following pubs are part of the scheme:

The Angel, The Black Bear, The Case, The Wheatsheaf, The Hare and Hounds, The Kings Head, The Oliver Twist, The Rising Sun, The Swan, The Wheel Inn, The Six Ringers, The Sportsman, The Angles, The Bowling Green, The Chequers, The Gallery House, Woadmans Arms, The Muppet Inn, The Rose Tavern, The Dukes Head, The Artful Dodger, The Bell Inn, The Bridge Inn, The Chequers, SR Taste, Mendi's, The Red Lion, Woodmans, West End, Horsefair Tavern, The Tidnams, The Five Bells, Crown and Mitre, ex Services Club
