Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
National alcohol licensing consultation
Thanks to Sgt Tim Hannah of the St Ann's neighbourhood policing team for drawing this one to our attention.
Alcohol-related crime and disorder is thought to cost the taxpayer between £8bn - £13bn every year. There are 6.6 million attendances at hospital accident and emergency every year due to alcohol, costing £645m.
In 2009-10 almost one million violent crimes were attributed to alcohol. The police are fighting a constant and expensive battle to stop this type of crime and antisocial behaviour.
The Home Office has launched a consultation to ask for your opinions on government plans to overhaul the current licensing regime, to give more power to local authorities and police to help them fight alcohol-related crime.
The Home Office wants to hear from everyone who will be affected by the changes, including members of the public
The consultation runs for 6 weeks, closing on the 8 September 2010.
See the Home Office website for more information.
