Aggressive Begging from a Public Order Perspective: Discussion
10:00 am
Mr. Adrian Cummins:

There have been debates here before about introducing a protocol for charities with buckets on the street. To answer the question, if somebody is upsetting or annoying patrons in a restaurant, it is not on.
