Great Night Out Turns Sour: Violence Disrupts Royton’s Revived Nights

Royton’s nightlife is growing fast. Once, only a few sports bars existed here. Now, many people visit on weekends. New breweries, cafes, and clubs opened recently. They sit near older discount shops. The town’s high street becomes lively at night.

One local resident said it is a good party town. Royton’s high street is usually quiet during the day. This change brought some problems. Reports of fights near pubs increased lately. A man and woman had a violent fight outside Bono bar.

Police investigate another incident. It involved a man attacked outside Bono bar. Locals want more police in the town center. Some think the nightlife seems out of control.

However, many people support Royton’s new nightlife. One resident enjoys going to Royton. She prefers it over Oldham town center. Her favorite spot is Rumours pub. She feels welcomed by the friendly locals. She enjoys dancing there at night. Her friend feels Rumours is safe.

They think concerns about pub brawls are unfair. They leave before the late-night crowd arrives. Another resident said the town attracts all ages. Royton’s scene is changing, she feels. Younger people love it, while older residents are less keen.

One local mom prefers Friday nights. She thinks Saturday nights are for a very young crowd. She might see her students on Saturdays. Friday nights feel better for older people. Nightlife affects the local economy.
