Of course the last lot ignored it. No one would claim that this problem has suddenly sprung up since Labour came to power. However, removing the benches and thus penalising innocent citizens for the sake of a bunch of low lives seems to be the wrong way of going about it. The council should be talking to the police about enforcing the drink ban in the town centre but, on a wider scale, they should be exploring ways to rid the town centre of this problem altogether. What's the point of spending millions rejuvenating the centre, if shoppers and visitors are going to be confronted by a bunch of abusive drunks when they arrive?
Of course, they might be doing things to sort it but we wouldn't know, because not one Labour councillor has come on here to explain. Why should they have to report to Accyweb, you might ask? Well, when they were in opposition, they were on here often enough, giving their views about this, that and the other. Even the normally taciturn Bernard was getting his two penn'th in!
Now, total silence (although having said that I'm still hopeful that Ken will be along to give some info!).
