I take your point. The Council could be described as rudderless and the that the govt has put on the statute book laws, however they are not requiring Councils to implement this scheme and in areas of highy demand, they are making it not as easy to apply licencing. However Hyndburn/Manchester is low demand and restrictions are relaxed. The powers that be now need to give some political oomph to the law and implent it as they see fit. Remember we have dog fouling fines and the Conservatives have a policy of not fining but warning. As you are aware we would introduce fines, so yes there is a difference of approach and I cant find a polite and objective way of not saying Labour/Conservative!
