This boroughwide Alcohol Strategy aims to reduce alcohol related
harm by:
- Reducing alcohol-related poor heath and mortality.
- Ensuring high quality, evidence-based treatment is provided to
help all alcohol misusers successfully engage in treatment and
recover from their dependency.
- Reducing alcohol-related crime and disorder.
- Preventing, protecting and discouraging our young people from
alcohol-related harm.
- Promoting a sensible driving culture throughout the borough,
which is everyone's responsibility to encourage.
