wrexham.com report that ‘Progress Being Made in Tackling Issues With Discarded Needles in Wrexham’,
well if progress is measured by any number of concerned organisations coming together to have meeting after meeting and then taking their findings to a further meeting with a T&C group formed, then a sub T&C group then a breakaway fraction group etc…etc. then yes. And Yes, that is how its measured by the way.
But please, come on cut the crap, put the funding wasted on these meetings and groups to form a small dedicated team [of workers] to go out to the ‘hotspots’ and clean-up for the honest members of society – such as humans, children & dogs to go about safely in public areas. There is no amount of education or facilities in the world that will change these so called ‘unfortunates & vulnerable’ drug takers so they will not disregard needles – once they shoot up the do not know what planet the are on never mind ‘ohh I must clean up’!. The groups at the meetings claim not to know where these ‘hotspots’, some are bleeding obvious – and reported on this site daily – and others are known.
Just speak to the locals, shop keepers, street scene workers, emergency services, in fact, why not arrange a meeting with the very top people of the concerned organisations, maybe created a T&F Group and then…oh, bugger!
