Restoring calm to city streets

Published: 02/12/2008

WITH the way drunken violence is escalating these days, you have to applaud any initiative to restore calm to the streets of Britain’s towns and cities – even blowing pretty bubbles in the air.

Police community support officers in Bolton are to give bubble blowers to revellers in a bid to calm their mood as they leave pubs and clubs.

The initiative, part of the suitably-named Operation Sherry, aims to make the festive season fun.

Pens filled with bubble mixture should be a hit . . . until the partygoers drink it, that is.
