TEENAGERS have taken part in workshops tackling the problems of drink-driving.

The Ape Theatre Company performed Too Much Punch For Judy at Egglescliffe Comprehensive School, Eaglescliffe, yesterday.

The drama tells the story of a girl who killed her sister through drinking and driving and is aimed at teenagers aged 16 years and above.

It was followed by the workshop to highlight the issues raised in the play.

Peter Fleming, Stockton Borough Council's road safety officer, said: "The play is particularly timely after disappointing figures for the number of people stopped for drink-driving over the festive period."
