Cheap Booze Crackdown Success

LITTLEHAMPTON traders have noted a "significant reduction" in the amount of street drunkenness, thanks to a scheme introduced in October in which cheap beer and cider was withdrawn from town centre shops.

The one-month Littlehampton alcohol exclusion project to curb the number of drunken incidents was the brainchild of PC Richard Lancashire and he was delighted with the results.

He said: "On behalf of the Arun crime and disorder reduction partnership, the traders and residents of Littlehampton, I would like to extend our thanks to all of the off-licences who assisted in the project."
