out of sight out of our minds

last weeks mid wales journal reported the last town council meeting at which concern at the failure of the police to execute their duty with regard to the drinking ban in the town gardens.
Cllr eddie williams accused the pcso's of not doing their job as they ride around in a panda car instead of on foot.
well everyone has to work to a budget and as we know dyfed powys police have maybe lost 2 million quid in icelandic banks.
Cllr sheila richards was quoted as saying that she fears the drink problem has and may spread to other areas of the town including the lake and the rock park and was concerned about the amount of litter and damage in these areas.
WELL DONT SAY WE DIDNT WARN YOU!!!
alcoholism is a psychologically addictive illness that cannot be cured by moving addicts from one place to another or implementing a policy of out of sight out of mind.
indeed we have witnessed police officers interacting with members of the crew on several occasions but not executing the banning orders or taking alcohol off the drinkers.
Good for them.
they are obviously more in touch with the human condition then the mealy mouth town council who think llandod can be and should be immune to social ills.
the only way to truly solve this problem is to persuade the drinkers that admittance to a rehab programme is the way forward utilising behaviour and rehab professionals.
