Anti-social behavior complaints fall in Boston

“Can't say that public benches have ever done any harm. They have never caused me to make a complaint against them!
Its some of the folks that sit on them.”

“are they going to remove the bus station shelters also because thats where they all gather now. Day/evening is full of drunks using the shelters as toilets and leaving their rubbish laying around. Boston has become a dirty filthy town, a town I was once proud of but not anymore”

“I am quite appalled by the action taken. Surely, the way to deal with anti-social behaviour is to ensure we have sufficient law enforcement officers available and visible to take a zero tolerance approach. Such officers were once called "Police Officers" and were recruited from the community to a set profile, e.g. minimum height 5'8", minimum and maximum weight, UK origin, the ability to expand ones chest to a certain size, prepared to show bravery, be able to walk vast distances thereby emulating "beat work", be able to drive a car but only when necessary, have an acceptable level of proven intelligence but NOT to degree standard, have ample levels of proven commonsense, a good sickness record, e.g., will NOT require counselling for 11 months and being absent from the work pace as a direct result of a "paper cut" sustained in the "police office" (once referred to a "station") followed by litigation for health and safety breaches! In a nutshell, we need Police Officers that LOOK the part rather than the typical 20 stone lump that we see today who would fall over his own stomach if the need to run arose! Alternatively, we see the other typical extreme, e.g., the 2'6" dwarf wearing a ridiculously over sized helmet giving the appearance of a "chrome topped" tortoise inching along the path because he no visible legs! PLEASE RETURN THE SEATING TO OUR TOWNS AND THINK OF THOSE GENUINE PEOPLE WHO NEED TO SIT AND TAKE A BREATHER. OUR COUNCILS NEED TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM AND NOT THE SYMPTOM.”

“I wish they'd remove the drunks that congregate in lincoln as well,particularly around the church on st marys street and the new life church on the newland,they can be quite intimidating and are an embarassment to the city.”
