It's not a serious crime drinking in 'no drinking' areas, but maybe a raid would be a good idea now and then.. Can only move them on and confiscate their alcohol but perhaps we should be a little harder on them with heavy fines and custodial sentences. Zero tolerance on smaller crimes is where it all starts in my opinion.

It is more of a social crime, but letting this crime affect the rest of us by removing the benches and penalising those who like to sit there to rest their weary legs during their shopping trips, is not the answer.

Bet the perpetrators are laughing their heads off.
yeh they are kate- Up Church Street.
