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

Top half of the Clayton End's standing, bottom half's seating. No trouble with alkies sitting, as we all stand! ;)

In all seriousness, you'd be welcome if you fancy catching the occasional match...

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

Right, Taggy, I'm on my way up now, so if you're sat on Broadway supping cider with your mates, I'll be expecting you to budge up! ;)

That's the posh bit, Taggy! I live in Heaton Mersey and the only hooligan around these parts is me! ;)

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

Nope, don't accept this "it's the way modern society is" excuse for HBC's hamfisted attempt to tackle the towncentre drinkers by punishing the innocent with the guilty by depriving all of the...

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

That's you surmising, but I doubt you've any proof of it. Do you find it so difficult to accept that Hyndburn Council just may have a little bit to learn from other towns about how to at least...

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

It's not a question of feeling unsafe, it's more about the town centre's appeal being tainted by boozed up, foulmouthed scum hanging around. As for seating, well, there were some seats in front of...

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

The outskirts? You can't stop problem drinking in every area of any town - they're just aren't enough resources to do it! But I thought this whole argument was about the group(s) of boozed up...

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

It is dealing with that problem better and the proof of the pudding is in the eating - go into Stockport centre, you'll see groups of chavs and all sorts of dodgy looking characters. You won't see...

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

I'm not holding it up as a "shining light". It's got all the problems of any British town in the 21st century - drugs, crime etc...and they don't even have a football league club! ;) What I'm saying...

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

I didn't say it was a "progressive" town (whatever one of those is).

What I said was, if you start boozing in Stockport centre, the cops will be on the case quite quickly and will take your booze...

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

Tell you what then, come to Stockport, another Northern town, sit down in the town centre, crack open a can and see what happens. I can tell you what because I've seen it - the cops will be along...

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

This isn't a national thing, though. The police take a firm line with 'em in other towns in the UK. I've seen it with my own eyes. If it's a no alcohol zone, why aren't the police confiscating their...

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

I may be wrong here, but I think there's a CCTV system in the town centre. So why can't those who monitor it tip off the feds when they see the lowlives start on the booze? Cops swoop on the...

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

Quite sure they would, Dave. Thing is, I've sat in Piccadilly Gardens and watched the cops swoop on those unwise enough to partake of booze. They don't arrest 'em, just take a note of their details...

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

Don't hold your breath. The benches were moved as an experiment, to see if that would shift the drinkers from the front of the Market Hall. As an experiment it's been a success - they've apparently...

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

Criticising politicians, both local and national, for bad decisions certainly isn't. If that "winds them up" they really shouldn't be in public life.

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

Curiously, they didn't seem to have a problem with this in the past.
