Wirral to be a booze-free zone

It would give police officers the power to confiscate any alcohol in a person's possession - those who fail to comply will be committing an offence and could face a fixed penalty or fine of up to £500.

its been an alcahol free zone for years, its not entire wirral, but most urban problem area's are alcahol free, the plod see ye with alcahol and they pour it away in front of ye very eyes lol.

Its not enforced though as the police simply dont have the manpower, so theres little point making it wirral-wide, as that will just make it even harder to police.

i've had many a drink poured away by the police when i lived down there, only time they never poured it away was when i was 18+ and wasn't open
