News: Drunk Students

Wednesday, November 02, 2005 - 06:32 PM

Further to the article in Park News about the new University helpline for those affected by anti-social student behaviour, my immediate neighbours and I have had the opportunity to test the system. Last night between 3am and 3.30am a large group of very drunk and aggressive male students were causing significant disruption in Hope Drive - shouting, blocking the street and overturning wheely bins. A number of us have called the University's Manager of off-Campus Student Affairs, Melanie Futer to register our protest. I encourage others to do the same. The 24-hour number is 0115 8468666. I will keep you informed of developments.
