WHAT sort of heavy-handed approach would Ron O'Keefe like to deal with the 'goths and moshers?' Perhaps he would like riot police in full gear running up and down Church Street on Saturday or a water cannon on the roof of the Pavilions, which could compete with the fountains which pass as art.

Could he also clarify the meaning of a pedestrianised zone as, in my eyes, it does not mean one third of the street being used as car park and a third used as an entrance for heavy goods vehicles for the shopping centre. The town needs all the shoppers it can get. He should not try to alienate those of the future.
