RESIDENTS say 'drunk or drugged' girls lay on a pavement in Bournemouth town centre 'like zombies' last week.
Simon Grimston, who chairs the the West Hill Community group – an organisation formed to champion the West Hill area – said the incident happened in St Michael's Road on Thursday afternoon.
Claims of anti-social behaviour were made to Mr Grimston by another resident.
The resident said: "There were two drunk or drugged girls lying on the pavement – they looked like zombies.
"One drunk male was holding a bottle of cider and shouting at a passerby. He could hardly walk.
"Members of the public had to walk up the middle of the road to avoid them."
During the evening, a 'large group of intimidating males' blocked the pavement, it was claimed.
"We need more of a police presence in the area," the resident said.
Officers say they regularly patrol the neighbourhood.
