PRESS RELEASE - Meeting of Safer Community Strategic Board

The Safer Community Partnership met on 3/11/08 to consider the request of the Parish Council on 1st September, 2008 to reinstate the Dispersal Zone for Castle Bromwich Village Greeen and to establish a new Alcohol Restriction Order. This application was turned down.

The following statement is made on behalf of the Parish Council:

"The Parish Council is naturally disappointed that the application has not been successful. The problems experienced by parishioners will still need to be addressed and the Parish Council will continue to seek appropriate action to support residents who suffer from the effects of anti-social behaviour and inappropriate behaviour in areas of Castle Bromwich. We look forward to discussing future options with the partners who are responsible for these matters."
