Blood-splattered pavement in Marsden

The violence, which left a number of those involved with injuries, fuelled demands for CCTV in Marsden with Colne Valley Tory councillor Donna Bellamy saying she would take the lead in organising a meeting.

There have been increased reports of violent and rowdy behaviour in Marsden and Clr Bellamy said residents were gearing up again for another summer of problems caused by drunken Ale Trail revellers.

There was blood on the pavement in Peel Street on Sunday morning which locals had to clean up.
