I suppose it would be nice to have a higher police presence in the area, as you know Gerard, I overlook the sea front and it not unusual to see police patrol cars down there, what would be nice is if they would actually enforce the no entry signs and stop cars from driving and parking on the promenade. It would not matter if there was a police officer on every street corner but if they don’t enforce the laws, then they are just a burden on the suma payer
While I would concur that street lighting is an issue, one of the things I do like about the lights not working on the sea front is that they would actually spoil the view of the night sky. Also at night it is possible to watch the fishing fleet out at sea, lights on the promenade would also put an end to that show.
These are of course a very personal view point.
