Drink driving levels up in six London boroughs - Doocey3.28.00pm GMT Fri 22nd Feb 2008 Figures obtained by the London Assembly Liberal Democrats show that the number of people charged for drink-driving in Brent, Barnet, Hounslow, Southwark, Hackney and Bexley has risen in the past three years. This is compared to London-wide figures where charges for positive breath tests have actually decreased by 10% in the same period. Dee Doocey, Policing Spokesperson for the London Assembly Liberal Democrats said: "The fact that there has been a rise in positive breath tests in these boroughs is deeply concerning. I cannot believe that in this day and age people still think it is acceptable to drink and drive. I urge the authorities to target this issue and soon. We need to see more drink awareness projects and sensible drinking campaigns to tackle this worrying trend." Related Link:List of positive breath tests in each London borough
