DRUNKEN revellers leaving functions at Minehead Football Club are making residents' lives hell, it was claimed this week.

Families say they are being subjected to:

Shouted obscenities

Vandalism

Drunken couples copulating in public.

The allegations came as members of West Somerset District Council's licensing committee voted on Tuesday to allow the club to retain its public entertainment licence -- albeit with a restriction limiting events to 11pm Friday and Saturday only -- despite opposition and a petition from neighbours.
