A useful photograph to plan the next services on nightlife and the sale of alcohol that the councilor for safety and the Municipal Clio Biondi Santi intends to continue over time. Moreover, even before the pandemic, plainclothes patrols had also been successfully used for the baby gang case in Salicotto.
Councilor Biondi Santi, have sanctions been raised between 2020 and 2021 linked to the problem of alcohol?
“There were eight in 2020 for harassing drunkenness, punished by article 688 of the Criminal Code, two in the course of this year while none for giving alcohol to minors. The fact that they are not high numbers does not mean that controls have been lacking. it must be considered that the premises have been closed for a long time, even in the evening “.
Today he met the men of the Municipal.
“It was the first official greeting to the Command with a part of the staff, in the afternoon I met other operators who entered the shift”.
The input you gave them about the nightlife?
“That particular attention will be paid at night, starting with the plainclothes patrol. The checks will counteract the phenomenon of alcohol for the very young but, being also a councilor for youth policies, I think I also need further initiatives to attract their attention. The attendance at the ad hoc events organized in the summer was very high, from 50 to 70 participants per appointment. The break dance in Taverne d’Arbia for the 14-20 year old group went very well. to involve local associations and therefore to attract a greater number of people. Controls and the channeling of young people’s energies into positive and constructive activities go hand in hand “.

“Prefect Forte is very sensitive to the issue of young people at 360 degrees, I believe that the synergy between institutions always bears fruit”.
