Sir – Once again I was woken up in the early hours of Saturday morning by drunken idiots shouting and screaming at 2am as they made their way home from the local pubs and nightclubs.

Is there anything the authorities can do about this? It is becoming an almost weekly problem.

If the police can’t adequately patrol Skipton at this time, surely our pubs and clubs could be asked to pay for extra policing if they want to open so late, as their customers clearly have no consideration for anyone but themselves.
