Alcohol ban in Roeselare extended indefinitely

The ban came about because there was a lot of nuisance, and since its introduction there have been far fewer fights and thefts. The catering businesses on the square are satisfied. We see far fewer drunk people on the square, we are also less bothered by peeing in public, and our customers feel safer, they say. The problem doesn’t seem to be shifting to other locations either. Anyone who violates the ban risks a GAS fine.
