THE number of drivers arrested for being over the alcohol limit at Christmas is down.
But the news is not all good - police arrested 48 people in the western half of Somerset, which includes Burnham, during the festive period.
Across their patch, Avon and Somerset police stopped around 10,000 drivers, of which 262 were arrested for alcohol-related offences.
This compares to 329 last year.
