WITH reference to the report "Race drunks cause chaos" (August 24), it is high time stiffer action was taken by police on drunken behaviour. The worst part is when such people urinate in this estate without considering the young children playing in the area.

We need extra cover on estates when these events take place. Why should we live in fear of these people? Banning alcohol might be a start and improve the situation all round for the city.
