Bingley police get tough on drunk revellers
8:40am Monday 20th February 2012 in Bingley
Police have outlined their latest successes in efforts to crack down on drink-fuelled problems in a town centre.
Officers in Bingley have been taking action against those who blame alcohol as an excuse for disorder.
Recent action involved a woman being handed an £80 fine for being drunk and disorderly in Main Street.
She was standing inside the entrance to a shop in the early hours and was seen to urinate on the floor.
Two men were also issued with £80 fines for being drunk and disorderly at The Harvesters Pub, Bingley.
Both men, a 20-year-old from Bradford and a 21-year-old from the Bingley area, will be considered for a ban from all licensed premises in the town via the Pub Watch scheme.
