ECHIUM ROAD PARK: REPORTS OF DRINKING, DRUGGING AND FIGHTING

used by school kids and the like for drug and/or alcohol abuse, organised fighting, etc. due to the fact that it is very dark at night. “I requested the lighting a few weeks back and am sure I will receive an answer to my request soon. I am looking at systematically upgrading all green spaces ... to be more functional to promote use. This will keep those up to no good out of these spaces as well,” Rheeder said. These projects will be in partnership with local organisations and businesses. V To page 2.
