106.5 JACK fm Bristol

Stokes Croft targetted to prevent booze sales.

A campaign's underway in Stokes Croft to stop street drinkers getting hold of high strength booze.

Following discussions with the police, the off-licences have agreed to apply for a new licensing condition that prevents them from stocking the drinks favoured by the street drinkers.

Inspector Keith Rundle said, "We would really to thank the licensees for their responsible attitude and their willingness to support their local community. It demonstrates the effectiveness of working together with local businesses to resolve long-standing issues."

"I am hopeful that we can apply the lessons that we have learned from this to benefit other communities across Bristol in the future."
