DEVIZES is a pleasant market town but, like so many places in Wiltshire, is being spoilt by a yobbish minority who insist on drinking all day and then making the lives of passersby difficult.
The police are doing their best to put a stop to the behaviour that must put off tourists but the present bylaw has no teeth.
They can take alcohol and move people on but unless they are drunk and disorderly they cannot be arrested.
Hopefully this is about to change and police will be allowed to do their job.
