Police Tape

Does anyone know why there is Police tape all along the High Street near Pret and Mountain Warehouse?

A neighbour rang me about 9.30am and told me, appears you can still drive down the road, but not walk on that side. Also there had been a Policeman standing there as well. Shops had been shut, no idea what happened.

I was told by an elderly gentleman that someone was stabbed last night, obviously I dont know if that is true or not.

The nighttime economy has a lot to answer for.

That's awful, thanks for the information

Quite agree Jonathan (I think that may be a first 😀)!From what I hear local crime and anti social behaviour has increased significantly since late night licences were granted on the night street.  And this before the advent of the Palmhouse mega venue!Of course no link with late night licences, and what drunken patrons get up to after leaving no longer the bar’s responsibility. 🙄I would say whilst no objection to some late night bars I do think the licensees should pay the cost of extra late night policing to counter just this effect, but then of course that would eat into the profits of staying open late....
