Residents raised the issue again when Fleetwood Police staged a question and answer session with residents, using the force’s Facebook page.

People who have been using the seafront chalets in the town said gangs of youths were running amok.

Nick Palmer asked: “How are you going to address the youths that take over the Marine Hall every evening.

“I have a chalet, we are constantly harassed by drunk youths, swearing, drinking, smashing glass and urinating where ever they like.”

He was told by the police: “There is currently a lot of work going on behind the scenes with partner agencies and youth offending team.

“We are engaging the youths into other activities.

“You must ring 101 when this is actually happening as this helps us build up a bigger picture, but you will start to notice some changes around the Marine Hall.“
