Liberals claim Anfield, Tuebrook, Old Swan and Kensington Overlooked in Alcohol Ban Move

Liberal Party Councillors have had a protest letter printed in the Daily Post 12th Nov where they regret that the Wards of Anfield, Tuebrook, Old Swan and Kensington have been overlooked in council proposals to extend the city centre ban on "on street" alcohol consumption for Norris Green and Woolton and Hunts Cross

Whilst Woolton and Hunts Cross are largely areas of semi and detatched homes in  prosperous suburbs, areas like Anfield, Old Swan and Tuebrook have a predominance of terraced homes who feel the impact of vandalism, violence and anti-social behaviour aggravated byy alcohol in a far more adverse way.

Council officers have claimed it is because Home Office representatives visited a police forum in Woolton, that Woolton was selected

Cllr Steve Radford "I am hardly surprised the Home Office did not get to visit the police forums in Tuebrook and Anfield - I think the Police are still recovering from the frustration of residents from the last forum over a year ago"

Previously Lib Dem Councillors had backed the LIberals request.
