Alcohol Abuse

Cider drinkers all over the country are today wishing that they could put Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling through a cider press for taxing their favourite bevvy by a whopping 10%! The budget has already being dubbed as the 'Mangner' Carter by cider lovers. A Facebook group called 'LEAVE OUR CIDER ALONE!' was set up within hours of the announcement and as of this morning 15000 people had signed up.
Young people from Moorland Park Youth Centre will be showing off the results of a recent project to highlight alcohol abuse next week. Walls at the community centre have been decorated with graffiti, painted by youngsters attending workshops, and will be unveiled next week, with the artists signing their names on their creation.
