An intoxicated man who was banging on people's doors late at night got a place to sleep it off - thanks to police.

After arresting him for being drunk and disorderly, officers in the town tweeted: 'He got his own 5* room.'

Earlier, officers patrolling Nene Parade in the town came across three street drinkers.

'Alcohol disposed of and three people moved on,' they said. 'Empties in the bin.'
