I would like to congratulate wales police activity in and around [text deleted] on the [text deleted] weekend. You didn’t come into the public house while we were trying to work and ask questions about the license; to which you already know the answer. There was a reasonable spread of police throughout the town and no direct harassment towards any particular establishment by way of standing directly outside intimidating customers and such. But we knew you were there if we needed you. The street was clear of litter when we walked round with the dogs at about 3.30 in the morning. There was no trouble inside any premises in town that I heard of, only a little on [text deleted] quite late on. Considering the relationship licensees have with the police is so poor, we thought it prudent to point out; you got it right, well done!
