Northumberland: The council is stepping up to tackle alcohol-related issues in the area. They’re launching a community survey to get a better grip on how residents feel about alcohol use and its effects.
This survey is open until February 5, so there’s still time to share your thoughts. The council has noticed that hospital admissions related to alcohol are higher here than the national average, which is concerning.
Even though alcohol-related deaths are on the decline, they’re still above the national average. Veronica Jones, a county councillor, pointed out that while alcohol is a big part of British culture, it also brings serious problems like crime and health issues.
She emphasized that addressing alcohol misuse isn’t just one organization’s job. It’s a community effort. By creating this new strategy, they hope to work together to tackle the issues that really matter to Northumberland residents.
Veronica encourages everyone to take part in the survey. Your input can help shape how they address these challenges moving forward.
