Churchyard alcohol ban a success
All churchyards in Worcester may become alcohol-free zones following the success of a recent scheme at one church in the city.

The introduction of the ban at St John's Church, to tackle nuisance drinkers, has prompted other clergy to consider the same route.

A spokesman for West Mercia Police said they are exploring the possibility of applying for a city-wide ban.

The zones have been introduced in some areas to cut crime.
