I READ the article Safebus patrol for binge Bournemouth (Daily Echo, June 22) with despair.
Yet again the authorities are treating the symptoms of a problem rather than addressing the cause.
We all know that the huge rise in alcohol-related crime and accidents is due to the ridiculous decision by the government almost four years ago (completely ignoring all warnings by the police and the medical profession of the consequences) to allow 24-hour drinking.
