A new partnership is to be created in Bridlington to target underage drinking and anti-social behaviour.

Community Alcohol Partnerships (CAPs) are made up of local authorities, police, schools, retailers, neighbourhood groups and health providers, and consists of them working together to tackle alcohol-related harm to young people and improve the quality of life for residents.

The new CAP will work closely with local schools to take a proactive approach to alcohol education, to ensure that young people are equipped to make the right decisions about issues including drugs, anti-social and criminal behaviour.

It will also work with local retailers to help them avoid making underage sales and reduce ‘proxy’ sales where adults buy alcohol for under-18s.

The CAP will also provide alcohol-free activities for local young people through youth services and local charities.

The Partnership would like residents to complete a short survey. It will help them to understand where public concerns are and help direct their work to resolve the issues.
