Drunken revellers in Consett told to leave town centre
Police in a County Durham town are stepping up patrols to deal with drunken and anti-social behaviour.
Those causing trouble in Consett will be issued with a "notice to quit", ordering them to leave the town centre or face being arrested.
As well as being arrested, those causing disturbances or criminal damage could land an £80 fixed penalty fine.
Durham Police said the town was a trouble "hotspot" in the summer and wanted to tackle the problem.
