Deputy Jackie Hilton has called for an immediate crackdown on street drinkers and believes that the States should get tough by threatening to remove aid.
She highlighted the area of the General Hospital as a particular area for concern and said that the States had been too soft for too long with alcoholics congregating near Parade Gardens.
The director of the States Alcohol and Drug Service, Michael Gafoor, said that alcoholics could be helped only if they voluntarily sought assistance.
