Drugs and alcohol
SSP Alcohol Strategy 2010-2012
A new alcohol strategy has been written and is currently being implemented to deal with problems related to alcohol in the borough, the three year alcohol strategy will
- Focus on children and young people, supporting children of problem drinkers and running health campaigns for young people.
- Address alcohol related crime and community safety concerns especially regarding alcohol fuelled violence and domestic violence.
- Support problem drinkers via health and social care services involving outreach workers targeting hidden or hard to reach drinkers.
Southwark Council will ensure a joined up approach is taken regarding local concerns about alcohol.
Southwark Council is one of the very few boroughs to have a near borough-wide alcohol controlled zone - this is a key part of the success in reducing the levels of street drinking and overall alcohol misuse within the borough.
