THIS week a holidaymaker from Whitley Bay has suggested that Southport police need to use tougher measures against night-time drunks in the town centre.
The woman in question claimed the group’s sleep was constantly disturbed by drunken revellers on West Street, at the back of the Royal Clifton Hotel.
Every week we hear tales of how people on nights out are arrested for fighting or causing trouble in the town.
Many suggest that longer licensing hours are to blame.
But, what we should remember is that this is only one person’s point of view.
As Inspector Gary Fairbrother, Sefton’s anti-social behaviour coordinator, says people should be ‘realistic: “This is a holiday resort and there are going to be people who get happy after a few drinks.�
There are hundreds of people who come into Southport for a good night out and go home merry, but quietly. Surely they are the overwhelming majority.
