Con’d Police Inspector “…improves standards generally, we could
introduce polycarb glasses which reduces injury which assists the police . We’ve worked together [local Best Bar None] got funding and shared ideas”.
“… good for safety but don’t want to frighten people into thinking the town’s not safe – so it’s better raising standards and levels of serve
