Locals in a pretty Lancashire village say there are too many bars attracting rowdy visitors.
Residents and businesses in a picturesque village are to be asked if licensing policies are needed to halt the tide of rowdy boozers.
Many add that the streets are plagued by late night disturbances, as it struggles to cope with the volume of people who leave a trail of vomit and empty beer glasses in the street.Although it is not a new problem in Whalley, the situation has left many residents scared to speak out, through fear of potential repercussions.
A minority of venues were recently criticised by the council which claimed that, while most are well-run, others have a negative impact .“There must be over 30 licensed premises in Whalley - too many. People are coming here from all over the place.People come from places like Blackpool and Rochdale visit in the football season, he said, adding: "They watch the lunchtime match in pubs, have a few bevvies, then watch the 4.30pm match, and have some more bevvies until they fall down.
“We also have to remember that Whalley is smaller than Clitheroe or Blackburn. Whalley can only hold so many licensed premises. Most businesses are pretty observant of licensing conditions and welcome well-behaved customers.
