Dear Editor,
Re: “Drinking in parks nixed, for now,” Online, June 19.
I am referring to the pilot project of allowing drinking alcohol in Richmond’s parks this summer.
It is not only a bad idea because of the negative influence it can have on children and young people (having a specific area just for it won’t help), but it will increase drunk driving, thus more police surveillance is needed, which again costs more money.
I think the councillors need to make a responsible choice at the meeting on Monday (see updated story in link above)
Protect our children and protect our streets from irresponsible behaviour.
