A square in St Peter Port has become an alcohol-free zone following complaints about anti-social behaviour.

The restrictions at Church Square will extend to nearby streets and lanes including QuayStreet, Market Hill, the steps leading to the Commercial Arcade, and Cow Lane.

The order will not be applied to events arranged by the Town Church.

Deputy Prow says his Committee has also made contact with the Committee for Health & Social Care to provide 'joined-up' support to those who need it.

The decision to impose the restrictions was taken by Guernsey's Committee for Home Affairs with parish Constables, representatives from the Town Church, Health Officers, and Guernsey Police all involved in the decision.
