The problem is Council Watcher that many of these individuals will not engage with the services of any description (re data provided by Cllr Hugh John Jones)
zinger All the services are in place with CAIS, The Wallich etc. The problem being individuals not engaging with the services
MP1953 Wrexham is bound to be an attraction for (Day trippers). After all, you only have to step off a bus at Wrexham Bus Station and you’re in the ‘Golden Triangle’. Where drugs are easily available. It’s easy to purchase drugs, and easy to blend in with a group and make limited policing almost impossible.
I personally doubt they’ll solve the ‘Golden Triangle’ problem as things stand. It might sound radical but, I would move the Wallich venues, the Elms etc out of town. For the sake of Wrexham’s town centre commerce and its citizens. Especially the OAP’s who’ve abandoned a bus trip to Wrexham.
Any suggestions where to move them? But one thing for sure, their present locations are destroying the town.
And.
.move the services out of town for the good the residents of the immediate area. Particularly Rhosddu who have had a lot to endure the last few years. Terrible.
Previously on the issues of drugs etc, Inspector Paul Wycherley said the job in Rhosddu had been “challenging”. As if the Police had won?
It’s got worse.
Not forgetting those trying to earn a living either? The business rates are high enough? There’s no reduction for opening your shutters everyday to find rubbish on your doorstep, people slumped across your doorway etc etc?
I say move the alcohol and drug rehabilitation ‘drop in centre homes’ to the edge of the Industrial Estate. Where there’s a Spartan bus route, 5-miles away from the nearest railway station etc An extension to HMP Berwyn?The problem with moving services like this to inaccessible locations is that the people who would ultimately benefit would not use it & still rattle around town abusing drugs anyway.
The prison is already rife with drug issues as it is. Not sure how a new additional drug unit that deals with non-criminal drug issues will help.
You can also imagine that the more enterprising non-inmates will be smuggling drug supplies into the prison itself. Would be like opening up a sweet shop!It’s interesting because the zero tolerance approach to begging was supposed to get them off the street and it didn’t.
We didn’t have any of these problems when Spice was legal & sold for a pittance. They were all zombifying themselves in the comfort of their own homes. War on drugs has been a catastrophic failure every single time.
Just let them blitz themselves on whatever out of everyone’s way. Give it to them & remove the criminal drug dealing elements and the need for them to beg or commit crimes to pay for the drugs. Not sure how it would be any worse a situation than the taxpayer currently paying for tobacco/alcohol & gambling of those long term unemployed or apparently too sick to work but well enough to smoke like a chimney.No-one wants to pay for society’s failures but also no-one wants to see them cluttering up the streets either. We have to pay for extra policing & rehabilitation anyway.
