Hello Sir, I am a Community Protection Officer,
working for Nottingham City Council, and attached
to the Council House as a Civic Guard. One of the
problems we have encountered, is juveniles using
the Council House concourse as an area to ride
bikes and use skateboards. So far we have managed
to hamper this by either temporary confiscation
or warnings, followed by either Acceptable
Behaviour Contracts (ABC's) or Letters before
Action (LBA's) as a build up to a possible Anti
Social Behaviour Order (ASBO)
To show we are treating everyone fairly, I would
respectfully ask if it is possible, that you
could dismount from your pushbike before entering
the Council House concourse in the
future. Regards CPO MITCHELL 9995
