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 />
