The Nottingham Alcohol Strategy 2008/11 reflects a renewed commitment amongst local partners to tackle the full range of alcohol related harms in Nottingham City.

The strategy reviews and builds on progress made since the city’s first alcohol strategy was written in 2006, with a sharpened focus on health promotion, effective treatment for hazardous, harmful and dependent drinkers, and maximum enforcement against those engaging in alcohol-related crime or antisocial behaviour. The strategy creates a framework to drive forward and coordinate action from all CDP partners.

The new strategy’s three themes address the three biggest challenges relating to alcohol harms in Nottingham: health & wellbeing; crime, disorder & antisocial behaviour; children & young people.

The Nottingham Alcohol Strategy will deliver:

• A series of targeted campaigns to promote a culture of safe, sensible drinking.
• A review of the alcohol treatment system.
• Screening and brief advice to those drinking at hazardous or harmful levels.
• Tougher action against off-licenses selling irresponsibly.
• Maximum use of available enforcement powers.
• A comprehensive programme of early intervention initiatives to prevent the onset of alcohol misuse amongst under-18s
• Improved understanding of local alcohol-related harms through improved data collection systems and consumption surveys.
