I agree with "Unregistered" -- sorry, folks, but a few drunks and loud youths don't make Leamington a dangerous place. This old town is haven of peace compared with many other towns and cities in the UK.
There has never been a golden age -- there have always been drunks and loud youths, frequently in greater numbers than now, and frequently nastier than those we have now because they were a lot poorer in a lot less tolerant society.
And on that note, we should all be trying to combat why we have drunks in the first place -- a major social problem throughout the Western world. We shouldn't be simply sweeping them out of sight to make the place more appealing to the rest of us. That's not civilised behaviour either, is it?
I'll get off my soap-box now.
