Why oh why do we have to put up with Street drinkers guzzling and quaffing vast amounts of alcohol in the gardens of St Nicholas's church.
Not only is it intimidating to passers by but they also leave an absolute mess behind them. No one in 'authority' seems to move them on?
Isn't it private property and therefore up to the church to move them on?
Of course the church could call the Police, but it seems an un-Christian thing to do, to turf them out on the street for the "crime" of sitting down and having a drink in a private place.
