FURTHER to last week’s letter on a similar subject, I am a 71-year-old resident in St Helens town centre and have had enough of the continuing trouble caused by the increasing number of drunk people in Victoria Square.

The problems I have seen include:

1. Drunk people being offensive to people crossing the square including people with children.

2. Litter being left all over the area.

3. Drugs being sold and used in the square.

4. Drunk people urinating in the road behind Claughton Street, which has several flats with adults and children.

5. Local businesses experiencing a loss in trade.

6. A disgraceful backdrop for guests to the council building.

7. Wedding events being disrupted.

8. A serious assault causing the area to being taped off by police.

9. Total disrespect to memorials and statues.

I think this area should have enforced bylaws restricting the drinking of alcohol.
