“Also....while I have my self opinionated head on....totally agree with the vigilante coments, although I am a law abiding citizen and I don't altogether agree with taking the law into ones own hands, I do think it is difficult to stand by and watch whilst a soon to become majority of people in certain areas drag everything down that good hard working citizens have worked hard to acheave, and when calling the police only gives you a log number, usually over the phone, and a half hearted promise of a possible visit when the time can be found....what are people supposed to do?????”

“I will never understand why people feel the need to walk around the streets drinking, I was under the impression this problem was getting better but of late I have seen not just youngsters but parents with babies in prams walking through the streets with a can of lager in their hands....good influence on the toddlers there folks....one hand on pram handle the other with a can whilst toddlers run where they like....no joke....it happens....so although I think it's bad that youngsters do this it is not just a problem of theirs alone....and unless drinking in public is baned full stop I can't see anything changing.
I would love to see a complete ban on drinking in public, it'd stop many drunken brawls and those who just throw their bottles/cans where they take their last swig....it's not nice for children to see nor is it a very good example for the future generation who might just have more sense.”

“john englands comments, totally agree, just seen ,two drunken feral scumbags, down welholme road, spitting ,and swearing,at any one passing, one of these low life, that drunk, hes bouncing off peoples cars, wesee this on adaily basis , where are the police! VERY RARE COMMODITY,THEYARE, people talk about vigilantes ,whether we like it ,or not ,its going to happen ,big time , people are sick to death, of these street rats doing what they like”

“So the brain dead yobs switch to drugs and the Keystone cops and the hobby-bobbies do nothing.So whats new?”

“I live near to the Freshney in Fildes St in a no alcohol zone. Our street is a rat run for all the druggies in the area. You can set your watch by the times they go for their cider in the morning then off in the afternoon for their methadone. If it's a nice day they all congregate next to the river for a nice White Lightening picnic. If you dare walk over the bridge and look at them you get abuse and if they see which house you've gone into they'll bang on the door or window. I actually rang the police once when they were trying to drown one of their number. The police asked if I would go and calm the situation down and have a word with them until they got there. Of course I didn't go and I'm still waiting for the police to arrive 6 months later. The PCO's usually walk past with their heads down. The only thing we get from the council is residents being fined for parking on their own front, even with a permit. I didn't used to agree with vigilantes but I think I'm being turned.”

“What we do n ot need are more laws/rules/regulations for the police to enforce. what we need is for the Police to enforce sensibly the powers they already have. There are already enough laws to deal with drunken behaviour etc. They just need enforcing by the current forces of law and order. To try and introduce blanket bans to drinking in the streets is a gross infringement of my rights. If I am causing a nuisamce behaving in anti social manner etc there are already laws to deal with me enforce them. Another attempted whitewash by the powers that be to impose more restrictions on free individuals is not what we want from the state/council. I am not a number I am a Free Man well I like to think so sadly in this country this is becoming less and less so. One would have hoped with a Con-Lib government and a local Lib-Dem council the boundaries of the state should be being rolled back not increased.”

“I live on Hainton avenue and personally do not see this as realistic.
Under age drinking is already illegal, but the police do nothing.
I have CCTV and when something does happen and is caught on it, the police do not want the footage because they have already decided to do nothing.
If a general alcohol ban was placed on the area the police would not enforce it.

Law enforcement is the key, but sadly it doesn't exist any more.”

“Stuart, wolds

I disagree on the forum being a waste of time,
action in our area has been taken on most issues,
and others are on going,

as for vigilante action I agree with you.

and I can't see the need for anyone to be drinking in the street, or in public areas.
yes I do enjoy a drink, but at home or in a pub/club, restaurant.”

“Richard, deep down you know that such 'forums' are a talking-shop ie a complete waste of time, however well intentioned they are, but all this talk of vigilante action being around the corner is also nonsense.
I moved away from cleethorpes (isaacs hill area) and one of my main reasons for doing so was i was sick of what is discussed here. commuting is a pain but certainly worth it.”

“John, England not the EU

The Hainton and Heneage forum, is well attended,
and on all occassions, there are 20+ persons and more at times.
Local Council representatives, PCSOs, Police, and guests, and others,
Residents are the largest in number.

Steve Beasant,
does not sit on the committtee, or even represent anyone on there.
he has attended as a resident, and as a Guest Councillor,
and he has no influence over the meetings,
all residents, can speak on whatever subject they like, and voice their concerns about things in the area.

You yourself are invited to attend
then maybe you can judge for yourself
just let us know who you are when you come.”
