Beer mats used to warn of the dangers of downing too much festive booze

Cumbrian college students have joined forces with local police to warn of the dangers of drinking too much festive booze.

The youngsters have designed beer mats and posters which will be distributed to pubs and clubs. The beer mats drive home the message that alcohol can fuel violence and is often the cause of many A&E admissions. All the winning designs will be projected on to Furness House, opposite Barrow police station, from today and on the screen in the town hall reception.

The initiative to design the beer mats and posters began in October. Crime and Reduction partnership co-ordinator Rebecca Rawlings and Barrow police sergeant Ian McClymont visited students to ask for their help with the Christmas campaign.
