RESIDENTS of a seaside village claim it is being ruined by rowdy partygoers who dump rubbish in the street and steal from them.

       Locals of Polzeath, Cornwall, have slammed "anti-social" schoolchildren and revellers for littering and vandalising their picturesque beach.

       Andy Stewart, a former police officer who now patrols the beaches, told the Mail that posh parents living in nearby villages "haven't got a clue" what their kids are getting up to.

       He said: "They think they are sending their kids to this utopia, where they are sitting on the beach, playing guitar and swapping phone numbers.

       "They don't realise there is excessive drinking, cocaine, nitrous oxide, underage sex and big fires."

       Andy claimed that he even convinced a famous TV name not to let their child attend the beachfront parties by showing him snaps of used condoms and underwear scattered across the sand.

       Floodlights and CCTV have now been installed to try and discourage the bad behaviour.

       But Kathy Alford and Vickie Toland, who volunteer for the local conservation group, still fear for the next couple of weeks, as the summer season attracts crowds of young tourists.

       Vickie said: "In the last few years, it's been big bonfires and lots of bottles just chucked.

       "I couldn't believe it when I first saw the bin man with a wheelbarrow and a dustpan and brush clearing up the road in the morning."

       It comes after locals of another town were appalled by an unusual council-backed addition to a new housing development.
