DRUNKEN revellers hav-ing sex and being sick under pensioners' windows are making a historic Worcester street a no-go zone.
Fed-up residents living at Nash's and Wyatt's Almhouses in New Street claim party-going drinkers in their late teens and early 20s fight, hurl abuse, urinate and vomit in nearby Nash's Passage.
The pensioners say they are being kept awake until 4am by drunken revellers who stagger out of Chicago Rock Caf, further along the street.
Caretaker Gordon Meadows says every morning he has to disinfect the entrance, remove used condoms and scrape up lollipops which the bar gives customers to keep them quiet as they leave.
"It really is disgusting having to clear this mess up," said the 73-year-old. "We have screaming and shouting until the early hours and, if you ask them to be quiet, you just get abuse.
"My wife and I have moved our bedroom to the other end of our flat as we were fed up of listening to people vomiting, urinating and having sex under our window.
"We've also had people climbing over our gates and snooping around. The residents here are very concerned for their safety."
Pat Beresford, warden at the court, claimed the pub's management had promised to contribute towards the cost of CCTV and implement checks on the passage - but said there had been no action.
"They're not bothered what happens when people leave the premises," she said.
"The management listen but haven't implemented anything. We had checks on the passage for a week then it stopped."
But Scott Oldfield, deputy manager at Chicago Rock, denied the problem revellers were his customers.
"Our clientele is older and I can't see our customers having to have sex in the street," he said.
"The pub has undergone a change in management and there are some problems we intend to sort out. If the lollipop sticks are being thrown down we'll introduce sweets instead.
"I wasn't aware about the promises which had been made and would be happy to talk to the residents about continuing them."
