Closed Fund more bobbies on the streets

Closed on

Street crime in our area is at its highest it’s ever been.
Whether it be a mugging, theft, assault, burglary, drugs or intimidation of our children.
Safe streets = safe children.
I’m sure you would have noticed that the number of on the beat police has dropped (or in some cases non-existent).

This in turn can breed a higher rate of ‘Street Crime’ and invites people into our area to commit offences.
The more police presence we have on our streets will be a deterrent to these opportunistic criminals coming to our area and doing as they please. The police are understaffed and overworked, therefore can’t cope with the ever growing issues we are all bearing the brunt of.
Low police presence = high crime rate
High police presence = low crime rate
