Concern over anti-social behaviour in Uppermill after the football.

Youths on the streets of Uppermill

Dramatic footage showing a youth dancing on the roof of a single decker bus and a girl laying  the roof of a moving car have angered a Saddleworth village.

The footage on social media sites, was shot on High Street Uppermill in the wake of England’s soccer win on Wednesday night.

It shows groups milling around High Street and their actions have  lead to widespread condemnation.

A person who posted the film on social medía, asked: “What has happened to our lovely little village?”

Now Chantelle Tupman-John, chairman of Saddleworth Pub Watch for four years , has  complained to police and  licencing authority.

She and her husband have run The Waggon Inn, a popular coaching inn on the High Street, since May 2013.

She said: “The majority of Uppermill venues are members of pubwatch and actively support each other on a daily basis.

“It’s been a horrendous 18 months for the hospitality industry and we are finally starting to get back to some kind of normality

“The majority of customers have been wonderful and very supportive since we reopened but unfortunately a very small amount have been very abusive and confrontational with our staff when asked to stick to the guidelines in place.

“We have been fastidious with rules and regulations and have kept the safety of our customers and staff as our number one priority.

“All the venues in the village have also stuck to the rules and tried their hardest during this incredibly difficult time and I know many other venues have had the same issues. 

“We have noticed a much younger crowd in the village and much more antisocial behaviour later on in the evening, once venues have closed. 

“This  is ruining the village and from what we have been told by our customers many people are now wary of coming out at weekend.

“I have been in contact with OMBC licensing and GMP regarding the recent issues and will support them in my role as Pub-watch chairman and as a licensee  in whatever way they need as I know all of the other members of Pubwatch will. 

“As a body, we will seek bans for any violent or antisocial offenders to make the village a safe and enjoyable place to visit and work.”

The inn had closed at 9pm and the disturbances focussed near the village Co-op store and former Nat West Bank after  10 pm.

“I was actually at home and heard the noise coming from the village,” she added.

“We were closed before 9pm and we will be closing early on Sunday so our staff and customers can get home to watch the football.”
