Events for 'Under 18s'
PCSO Sophie Basket has been working with The Envy Night Club in Street to organise 'Under 18' events at this location. So far two very successful 'Under 18' Discos have been held at Christmas and Easter respectively. The events are well managed by the staff from Envy, and searches are made on entry to prevent any alcohol or drugs being taken in. Staff also make sure that the events run smoothly without problems. Following the success of these events two more have been arranged for Monday 26 July and Monday 23 August 7pm - 11pm. PCSOs will also be present.
