New partnership to target underage drinking in Bridlington
The Community Alcohol Partnership will look to tackle anti-social behaviour
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.
