Jekyll and Hyde village where binge drinkers have sex in people's gardens

A stunning village located just a stone's throw away from Merseyside has had its dark side exposed with it being plagued by binge drinkers and chaos when the sun goes down.

Whalley, hidden away in the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, is the home of incredible green landscapes, an ancient abbey and a frothing river running through it. Despite the picturesque landscape and a plethora of independent traders and restaurants, the "Jekyll and Hyde" village has a dark side that shows its face when night falls.

The exclusive village, where a semi-detached home fetches more than half a million pounds on average, is home to binge drinkers and antisocial behaviour which plagues residents during the night, people living in the village have claimed. Alongside heavy drinking, people have seen vomiting and urinating throughout Whalley every weekend, Lancs Live reports.
