No Alchol Zone Review

Cllr Mann has joined a Scrutiny topic group in the Town Hall looking at the possibility of extending the No Alcohol Zone that is currently in Romford Town Centre, to other areas and smaller Town Centres around the Borough, such as Collier Row.

The first meeting was held last week in the Town Hall and is made up of 5 or 6 Councillors and supported by Acting Borough Commander, Supt Steve Wisbey.
The first meeting discussed some of the pro's and con's of the scheme in place at the moment and heard how Havering Police actually police the whole zone.

As part of the process, Councillors will be shortly going on a night visit to Romford town Centre to see how the whole thing works, this evidence will then allow the review group to get a better understanding of how things work and to see if there could be any merit in introducing the schemes around the Borough.

If you have any views about an No Alcohol Zone in the Collier Row area, drop Cllr Mann a line, details at top right of page.
