Ben is regularly seen in the centre of town – whether it's on ‘official’ business or doing a little shopping for himself.  “I like to see as many businesses as I can” says Ben “as it gives me the most accurate picture of how the town’s economy is faring, week by week.  I have also focused on the problems of violence and drunkenness in the town centre and have spent time with the police and others getting to understand the problem.”  Ben has also met residents from across Alexandra ward – from the Waterfront to Lacey Street, and has held numerous Ben in the Pub sessions in the area’s many pubs.
