 Guernsey politicians call for action over alcohol centre. |
Politicians in Guernsey are being urged to speed up the decision on the future of a house for alcoholics. The States is considering proposals to extend St Julian's hostel for the homeless in St Peter Port.
But a number of local politicians, including Home Department Minister Mike Torode are unhappy with the proposals and debate was cut short last week.
In the meantime the police are having to work with those with a long term drinking problem.
Mr Torode, said: "The sooner we get a decision the better, but it has to be the right decision.
"It's now a matter of all of us having some sort of input to help the Department of Health and Social Services to actually get the right location."
Chief of Police George Le Page says he would welcome anything that could be done to assist recidivist drinkers, and save police time.
