“There’s a lot of violence on the streets now, with drunk people coming out of pubs and clubs looking for aggro” LDD Attendee, December 2009 • “I live in Fulham and Friday and Saturday night you are dodging drunks and piles of vomit and it isn’t nice. I’d like to see more police on the beat at those times, alongside people who can help those who have a real problem with alcohol” • LDD Attendee, December 2009 “I’d like to see the police and local authorities working much more closely together on things like licensing, so we don’t get the situation where there are too many pubs and clubs clustered in one place.” LDD Attendee, December 2009
