Street pastors aid resort's youth

Street pastors have been recruited to offer advice to young people in Weston-super-Mare's pubs, clubs and on the resort's streets.

The pastors form part of a nationwide inter-denominational church response to problems such as binge drinking and antisocial behaviour.

Teams of four volunteers will work one night a month.

The Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Rt Rev Peter Price, will commission the new pastors on Saturday 28 October.
