In my community, there are at least three public parks. While I do not know whether the canal walkways are becoming unpoliceable, they certainly seem to be unpoliced. Is there some form of policy of containment in place in the city centre where people engaged in this behaviour are being redirected from the commercial city centre and into our residential areas? It certainly feels like that at the moment. There are parts of the city which just do not seem to be policed.
