In May this year part of Anglesey Ward was designated Alcohol Free Zone (AFZ). This was a planned event and has taken a long time to gather evidence required to obtain a legal order. Obviously signs are required to distinguish and inform people that they are entering or within AFZ. The Council provided some signs which are quite small in size and have been mounted such that they don't catch one's attention and certainly there are not enough of them.
I have requested additional signs located at least at the both ends of the streets within AFZ and areas where there are hotspots such as Uxbridge Street.
After over a month since this request was made there is still no confirmation if and when these signs will be provided. The estimated cost of additional signs is circa £500.
The Tory controlled Council is prevaricating because they apparently can't afford a few hundred pounds for additional signs.
The question is why is there no money for these signs in the budget?
According to this report the Council under spent by £200,000 last year.
The Tories say No Cuts in Services but can't afford a few hunderd pounds for extra signs.
Is this adequate level of service? Make your own mind!!
