Late night Falmouth.

Last night, once again, there was serious trouble in our road after the pubs and clubs in town closed. There are constant attacks on cars and property after closing time in the areas leading away from the town centre, and especially in this road.

Last nights action was simply unacceptable where "revellers" proceeded to upturn glass recycling bins which had been left out for collection, and smash the glass in the road, there were several of these glass bins overturned, not just one and they caused a major hazard for motorists. This wasn't just a few bottles, there must have been fifty smashed outside of my property alone. I went out at 3:45 to assist the officers in cleaning the glass from the road and I believe they did apprehend someone in regards to this incident.

I don't believe the Police are at fault, or this is even an issue primarily about law enforcement. The Police obviously can only respond to incidents where a crime has been committed, or someone is in the process of committing one. I also do not think the Police should be used as a 'nanny service' to run round after these fools who can't handle their drink. This is a societal problem, an issue for the town itself.

The problems Falmouth has with drinkers and louts after hours is a major issue and the community must take responsibility and deal with it. I am suggesting all parties, residents, business, Police, Council etc come together to address it and decide on a course of action.
