Underage drinking is a problem in all cities and towns and in Harlow three organisations Harlow Council, Essex County Council Trading Standards and Essex Police supported by the Safer Harlow Partnership are cracking down on it.
For the last 18 months the organisations have been working together and the focus is now on a new assault, which includes targeting drinking during the Summer. Using a combination of education and test purchasing, there will be a nine month programme aimed at ensuring minors are not able to obtain alcohol from off sales premises either by buying it themselves or by getting someone to go in and buy it for them.
