BCP Council is promoting safety during England’s World Cup this summer. While tournaments can foster community spirit, they also increase risks associated with alcohol, water safety, gambling, and domestic abuse. Residents are advised against drinking and swimming, and drivers should abstain from alcohol entirely. Pubs may extend hours if England or Scotland advance in the tournament. Councillor Kieron Wilson emphasizes the importance of celebrating responsibly and seeking help when needed. Support services are available through Dorset Police, BCP Council’s Up2U program, and gambling harm resources to ensure a positive experience for all.
