Alcohol Street Ban for Norris Green and Woolton delayed for months because Council did not have the ability to erect street signs :

Yes this was the reality exposed at the Housing and Community Safety committee when Cllr Steve Radford challenged the administration to press ahead with an alcohol street ban for Anfield, Tuebrook and Old Swan.

He was told it could not be done as they were awaiting the outcome of the two pilot schemes

So how had those schemes progressed asked Cllr Radford, they hadn't even started was the reply !!

The pilot schemes agreed last year and funded by the Home Office had not been even launched as the council had forgotten to order the street signs on time!!

Its a shame Lib Dems were not as quick erecting street signs or even repairing light bulbs as they are to rush off to the press to claim credit for government funded intiatives and ideas proposed by the Opposition Councillors
