CAP (Community Alcohol Partnership) Launch
CAP is an initiative that was launched on 25th July with the aim of reducing underage drinking and drug use in our villages (Auckley, Branton, Blaxton, Cantley and Finningley) and associated anti-social behaviour. It is a multi-agency initiative involving SY Police, DMBC Youth Services and Officers, DMBC Ward Councillors, Parish Councils, local Stores, local youngsters and others who share the concerns.
In Finningley the problems occur mainly on the playing fields (teen shelter and children's play area) where some youngsters meet and behave inappropriately. They leave litter (not in the bins provided so they are liable to £150 fine), play loud music, and leave detritus that suggests they have access to alcohol and drugs.
The initiative has six aims:
- Reduce incidents of alcohol sales to young people.
- Reduce proxy purchasing and general supply of alcohol to under 18's.
- Develop a responsible retailing ethos and effective partnership approach in the CAP area.
- Reduce anti-social behaviour associated with youth alcohol consumption.
- Increase young people's awareness of risks associated with drinking.
- Improve general understanding of safe drinking limits and the law related to the sale of alcohol to young people.
The six-month programme is seen as "educational" rather than "enforcement" but it was made clear at the launch that enforcement is always an option.
