Yet another piece of madness which is really just a continuation of last week’s debacle following the shambles with the bus pass letter. How much did it cost to put that right. How many thousands of letters had to be sent out to correct another communications shambles.
As for Councillor Eade’s statement that he is proud of Telford & Wrekin Council the message is clear. “come down from your ivory tower and get a reality check!!!!

Idontbelieveit – if you have faith in our country’s police force that is the way to go.

But in my experience when you call out the police to a act of crime ie car theft, burgulary etc the response time is over 2 hours.

I’m assuming you expect that the person acting illegally in the park will wait the 2 hrs for a police officer to arrive to arrest them, myself I would prefer a Park warden to be on the spot in 5 mins and if neccessary make a citizen’s arrest and apprehand the person until a member of the police force arrives 2 hrs later.

Of course this is all by the by as everyone realises that due to our prisons being overcrowded that anyone caught breaking the law will no doubt be given at the worst 100hrs community service and told by the judge to behave in future.

This is why T & W council have outlined these draconion measures.

Myself I say good on T & W council – if the police, judicial service will not protect the people of our country then its a darn good job that T & W council will stand in to stand up for our basic rights.

Good Lord!

Someone actually supports this authoritarian overreaction by jumped-up little jack-in-offices.

Now that’s really scary!

idon’tbelieveit – Anyone can carry out a citizens arrest on someone for breaking the law.

Unfortunately not many law abiding citizens choose to do this hence the yob rules culture in our country.

But can arrest someone who is single and breaking the law in the park?

I NEVER said you could just arrest a single person did I?
