Re: HBC have taken away the benches from outside the market

Sadly noticed last week that the benches are still not back.

I take it their removal has solved the problem of town centre drinking, and there have been no further incidents?

Or has the problem just moved elsewhere?

Like the non-alcoholic users of the benches have had to.

They say a picture means a 1000 words and this one says Hyndburn is the place to be - unless you want to sit down




I like this picture from Hyndburns website as well, I think where that van is parked has yellow lines. Did they really take and use a picture showing illegal parking is ok in Hyndburn or am I wrong about the yellow lines?

Its all part of the new way to police problems. If you cant be bothered enforcing/using the laws and rules we already have then make up some more.

A bit like the new 20mph zones that I am in favour of. They will fail to work because the police wont enforce them. They fail to enforce the 30mph zones successfully so the 20mph zones will be no different.

Next they will build more speed bumps to try and stop you doing more than 20mph and the real problem that they dont enforce the limits will be ignored.

Same thing as the benches, they cant be bothered using the current no drinking laws and others so instead they take away the benches.

Re: HBC have taken away the benches from outside the market

Groove agrees that it was typically wrong and short sighted of the council to move the benches. Groove also noted that 3 days before the removal of the benches, the council installed special cigarette bins to accompany the benches, no doubt at extreme cost....Groove thinks Hyndburn is run by buffoons.

Re: HBC have taken away the benches from outside the market

What are you saying Neil? Is it that the cops don't get down to the market hall and move these dossers on? Why don't they do it? Surely they can see 'em there and if it's supposidly an alcohol-free zone then there's no reason for them not to do so (unless, of course, the dossers complain their human rights are being violated under EU law).

I must admit, I'm confused about this one....if everyone else can see it, why can't Lancashire's finest?

Re: HBC have taken away the benches from outside the market

Groove has witnessed the Police/ community wardens or whatever they are confiscate alcohol off people sat on the benches. Groove now beleives the same drinkers now congragate on Church.St...Groove thinks that maybe the market traders who have stalls adjacent to these benches were in some way influential to this decision. It can't have been good for business having a butty van and seating area next to the drinkers, who can be quite intimidating to some folk.

Load of twaddle, they had no influence whatsoever, the decision was made by the Town Centre Manager

Perhaps the creative thinking (that's putting it nicely) Town Centre Manager might next demolish the actual Market Hall.

Which should certainly rectify the problem of pigeons roosting there.

Listen to a few...and sod the many.

She'll probably be fast-tracked onto Labour's parliamentary shortlist, for exhibiting such imaginative and decisive thinking.
