Stags "No go" in Tyneside - The party's over campaign

Northumbria's new Chief Constable Mike Craik yesterday announced his solution to curbing the drunken chaos which is a feature of many North-East town and city centres.
His force's 'The Party's Over' campaign will target badly-behaved revellers with a range of measures aimed at restoring some order to the streets on Friday and Saturday nights in particular.
More officers at potential trouble spots, naming and shaming offenders and an old fashioned 'quiet word' with groups as they arrive on Tyneside for hen and stag parties are among the plans.
