It may help to know that the Obs Business Forum (Andrew Fife) and the OCA are attempting to get the centre of Obs declared a 'car-guard free area' in terms of the City's 'nuisance' by-law. The aim would then be to get particular businesses to vet and sponsor particular car-guards, who would wear distintictive bibs or jackets with the name of the sponsor on them. (See Johnny's message, above, which outlines something similar.) The benefits to the community would be obvious, but as with anything in Obs its a long, uphill struggle to make anything actually happen. The fact that Andrew (who is Chair of the OBF) receives very little support from most businesses in Obs (who seldom bother to attend meetings) does not help. Perhaps those businesses or individuals willing to try and get something done about the car guard situation should reply to me personally or contact Andrew at ATOM? (Sorry Andrew, I should have consulted you first, but time is short!) The issue has been frequently discussed in the OBF committee, and the car guard plan outlined above has the full support of our sector manager - but it needs the business community in the central restaurant district of Obs to get together and make it happen.
