Guest makapaka Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Yes I know the council cant enforce stop and search Ask the poster who brought the council into a drug issue . As for your first sentence , whats the point ? They will move somewhere else . Do the council plan to remove benches at the next place they congregate ? Soon there will be no benches left Potentially - so the council should have done nothing then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackey lad Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Potentially - so the council should have done nothing then? You have already asked what the council should do and I replied . And again I ask you what is the point of removing a few benches ? Is it the council TRYING to look proactive , when in the end it just inconveniences law abiding members of the public ?

Is it the council TRYING to look proactive , when in the end it just inconveniences law abiding members of the public ? You replied hackey but you didn’t answer - you just said it was wrong. I don’t think they’re trying to look proactive - I think they don’t want people on drugs congregating outside a prominent place in the town centre so they’ve tried to stop people sprawling over benches outside the cathedral. Of course they will go somewhere else but displacing activity like that has always gone on. It’s sad they’ve felt the need to take that action but are they to blame for it? I don’t think so.

I said before , I was sat on those benches 2 weeks ago at the height of the heatwave and it was a welcome sit down in the shade of the trees , there were 2 others sat there , none of us were drunk or on drugs but forget that because some one in the council thought it was a good idea to remove them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackey lad Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Other people do congregate there though. Some a bit worse for wear. More excuses for this councils actions . Goodnight . Before I go could you try to answer your own question in post 1321 ? Edited August 27, 2018 by hackey lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More excuses - not really. I would say more blaming of the council for something they can have little influence on. I don’t have an answer as to how the council addresses the issue over spice - I’d probably look at drug laws and policing before them on this issue though.

DaisyBoo Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I went to town today, came out of boots at the bottom of fargate to see a guy stood there having a wee!! He just opened his trousers and did a wee in full view of everyone. This was literally right outside boots where the seats are I was dumbstruck I couldn’t believe it. A guy with his child shouted at him but he just shouted back and carried on Then saw a group of men having a fight next to sainsbury across the road. Another guy walking up fargate clearly out of it and having an argument with himself It’s just horrible. Why on earth would anyone want to go to town to see this when you are just going shopping!!

woodmally Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 How is the council going to enforce that? ---------- Post added 27-08-2018 at 20:20 ---------- You haven’t answered the question - they have moved them to stop people sitting there - the other poster said this was insufficient - what else do you think he council should do about spice users? Well ok perhaps the Council cannot do that but the police can. Your right the Council dont have much power to do these things but surely it will just take a few bobbies an hour or two to implement. Nottingham had a campaign a while ago to stop people giving to beggars. The usual mile in their shoes brigade said it was cruel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the police can yes - so why did you not mention the police - but instead ended up instigating a debate on the perceived failures of the council? That was wrong really wasn’t it?
