Seaside villagers brace themselves for fortnight of 'feral rich kids' partying at beach

A seaside village is preparing itself for a fortnight of rowdy posh teenagers partying and romping on the beach. It's claimed Polzeath residents have already put in place a string of defensive measures to stop a repeat of the chaotic scenes they have seen previously in their Cornwall hamlet.

Last year, an influx of teenagers dumped broken bottles of alcohol and laughing gas canisters all over the village's beautiful beach, as well as vandalising emergency life-saving equipment. Trees were also uprooted and burned, and countless Prosecco bottles were smashed and left in the sand, reports Cornwall Live.

Locals believed the "feral" youths were private school pupils because they had arrived two weeks prior to state schools stopping for the Summer. A two-day 10pm curfew was imposed by police in a bid to control the chaos and clear the beaches of hundreds of youthful revellers, who lit fires using surrounding benches, fences and stolen shed doors.
