Thanks for the post.

Strange things are happening at Stonnington Council. The AVP contacted the Mayor and Councillors and then things get muddy.

Either there was no response from the elected Mayor and Councillors for eight days. Or the staff at Stonnington failed to pass urgent correspondence on this serious matter through to the Mayor and Councillors.

I believe its the latter of these two, however we are asking for them to initiate an enquiry as urgent matters of public safety like this should never be delayed.

The AVP is bypassing Council and has discussed speaking at the next Liquor Accord meeting on 11th October with Brian Frewin, and has met other liscencees. We have developed a program to support the reporting of violence to police and this will commence next week.

Post script: the withholding of information for eight days at Stonnington also meant that Council officers attending the last Liquor Accrord meeting did not pass on the information that was sitting over at town hall. Shameful.

If anyone has any concerns they wish to have raised at the next Stonnington Liquor Accord meeting in regards to Violence towards them, Myself and I am sure Brian Frewin from Heavens Door will have no problems tabling it.
