Noted.
Members being named, and accused of bullying is out of order.
Even if made by someone who's referred to the former Leader of H.B.C. by some very derogatory names in the past, whilst he's a member of this forum, and the name calling seemed to have nothing at all to do with politics.

Well.
Pull up a seat.
It's a long story.
On a serious note, I had a very nice email from Clare Pritchard today, which was appreciated. It also allowed me to apologise, in case she took my selfish desire to see the return of the benches as personal.
Yes she, like all councillors do a lot of unsung hard work on our behalf, and having moaning Minnies on your back, is probably not constructive.
But that doesn't mean people will stop doing it.

Just reading that through, I'd better make it clear that's what I think.
It certainly wasn't what Clare said to me, or her tone.
She couldn't have been more accommodating, in being willing to listen to my concerns.

Re: HBC have taken away the benches from outside the market
in fairness I have only just started venturing round accy again over the last few weeks having just moved back however I have to say that seating is definately an issue around the town centre and in this day and age where as a nation we are supposedly more aware of individuals needs. removing seating from town centres appears very anti-elderly/infirm (was groove behind their removal?)and as a disabled person feel they should be replaced immediately considering it has been proved that their removal has not helped the issue in question, only alienated valued members of our society and prevented them from spending much needed money in our town.

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 gone elsewhere in the town centre. So why would they bring the benches back?
What I would like to know is, as the whole town centre is a no alcohol zone, why can't the police just confiscate the booze? Have the council asked the police about this?

Quite agree, there are laws governing & controlling this type of anti social behaviour but they aren't being adequately & vigorously applied. I'm pretty sure that if I did some kind of anti social behaviour over here the GCP (German Plod) would have some rather pertinent comments to make backed up with a rap from his truncheon & if I continued the belligerence it'd be guns & cuffs & off to the pokey to reflect on my errant ways.
