As far as I can see, they've got to grips with it by the simple step of taking the booze off the boozers.

Why can't the authorities in Accy get to grips with it?
Its a case of where you are in town at any given time!..Many times i read the "accrington" observer & read reports of how much alocohol is taken off the streets by police from youths or problem drinkers!..So its not like they are doing nowt!..Maybe there's a difference in the "areas" that police target in different towns & at different times!..As i say my daughter lived just on the outskirts of Stockport & i can tell you, that was n area just as bad if not worse than i've experienced in Accrington!
