Other initiatives focus on fixing cobbled streets, enhancing street cleaning, lighting dark alleyways, and hiring ambassadors to assist tourists and address issues. The council aims to balance the needs of residents, visitors, and those facing homelessness while addressing longstanding problems like anti-social behavior and drug issues.
