The consultation period of the proposed designated drinking ban has started.
it will take place over 21 days.
it is likely that it will sucseedin going through unless there is a huge opposition towards it.
When llandrindod local councillors mailshot llandrindod residents only 245 people replied in favour that is less than a tenth of llandods population.
This banning order will not work in stopping anti social behaviour or curing alcohlism.
some people who drink in the pubs on a weekend will still create trouble when they've had too much to drink, look at the local press the court cases are full of drink related episodes.
and it will not cure the alcoholism of the small bunch of dependent drinkers[currently three in number, but only when the weather is fair].
Those who drink in the park can be a nuisance when pissed but need to be encouraged into specialist care!!! NOT Persecuted!!!
this is a small enough community to put this right.
There are also issues of freedom to choose here and if this order goes through it is a victory for the largely right wing hang them and flog them brigade.
here is the link to powys to oppose the ban.
