Home Office funding for beefed up security runs out this month for a town centre which faces drug addicts "shooting up in full view of the public".Anti-social behaviour in Shrewsbury town centre has been a major talking point in recent weeks, with the town's MP Daniel Kawczynski insisting residents are"scared" and have made more complaints about this that anything else.
The guards will remain until the end of the financial year, due to match funding from other sources, and now the council is looking at other ways to be able to afford the security. "There has been an ASB taskforce group set up at the behest of the director of public health. She recognises that it needs to be addressed."
It adds:"Home Office funding concludes at the end of September with various match funding taking the service to the end of the financial year. Discussions are ongoing with the BID and Shropshire Council around how the service might continue in a more collaborative form that at present. The report said:"It had been hoped that the renewal of the PSPO would provide added powers to the rangers to stop a number of anti-social and behavioural issues in the town. It would appear that senior officers within the Public Protection Team are reluctant to grant any powers beyond the current users of the tool for fear of them being over-burdened by paperwork.
