Closed Require bars, clubs and music venues to have metal detectors

Closed on

With the increase in knife crime around the UK, the government needs to act now to make Metal detectors compulsory at all nightclubs, bars and music venues.

Every weekend in the UK there is a story from a town/city around the county, that somebody has become another victim to knife crime. This is becoming so upsetting with many families losing loved ones due to cowards taking knives on a night out!

Until much stronger sentences are imposed to those who carry a knife, it should become compulsory for metal detectors to be installed at bars, nightclubs & music venues.
