St Aubin is no longer the jewel in our crown

From Annie Paxton.
FOR the past 24 years I have been a shop owner and a ratepayer of St Brelade and therefore feel that I have the right to comment on the following issues.
I am absolutely disgusted at the state of St Aubin. The vandalism is progressively getting worse. Last Saturday night the village was awash with rowdy drunks. On Sunday, on opening my shop, I was confronted with a pile of vomit up my shop front door and also beer which had been poured over the woodwork.
One of the parish planters had been trashed and a large rubbish bin had been set alight.
Where are the police and the honorary police at the weekend? They are well aware that many people come into the village with the sole intention of getting absolutely plastered and causing mayhem, making the atmosphere unbearable for those out for a peaceful evening, including families with young children.
I thought it was illegal to serve people in a pub or restaurant if they are over the limit. Obviously this is not the case, and I feel the issue should be monitored more closely.
The above problems are not new, but I would have hoped that by now the authorities would listen not only to my complaints but also to those of many villagers who are fed up with what is going on in the village.
Many of them have told me that they do not feel safe walking about at night time. What a sad state of affairs.
St Aubin was once the jewel in the crown of Jersey and a place to be proud of. Alas, not any more, unless something is done before it is too late.
