Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

•From page 1<br />

Senior Sergeant Stephan<br />

McDaniel said police are aware<br />

of the ongoing issues with youths<br />

congregating at the bus lounge.<br />

He said the problem is mostly<br />

during the late afternoon, weekends<br />

and school holidays.<br />

“To address the issue police<br />

are working with retailers in the<br />

area, local youth workers, the<br />

city council, mall and bus exchange<br />

security,” Senior Sergeant<br />

McDaniel said.<br />

He said as a result of the multiorganisation<br />

approach, police<br />

have seen a decrease in reports of<br />

anti-social behaviour.<br />

The other <strong>17</strong> recommendations<br />

are still being investigated by staff<br />

and reports will be presented to<br />

the community board and then to<br />

the city council.<br />

Community board chairman<br />

Mike Mora said he hopes the<br />

recommendations will be in place<br />

by the end of November.<br />
