This petition is now closed, as its deadline has passed.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to oppose calls by police to introduce blanket use of plastic glasses even in pubs and other licensed premises with no history of violence. We feel blanket bans on glass are unnecessary and will have a detrimental effect on the licensed trade and the drinking experience of the millions of law-abiding pub goers in well run establishments up and down the country.

This petition has been started by the pub trade paper The Morning Advertiser on behalf of its readers. The trade is extremely concerned at calls from the Association of Chief Police Officers for glass bans to be introduced in high-energy pubs and clubs. We feel a targeted approach - where polycarbonate glasses were only introduced on a venue-by-venue basis - would be fairer. We believe it is wrong to disadvantage the entire pub trade because of poor management at certain establishments.
