Closed More Restrictions on knives up to 25+

Closed on

Knife crime is getting disturbingly out of hand. Dangerous knives are too easily accessible via parents' kitchens and supermarkets. Parents of teenagers need to lock these knives in a safe or coded cabinet. Supermarkets and shops should have age restriction changed from 18 to 25.

When dealing with this issue the Police are only increasing stop and searches and are not getting to the source of the matter, which is where they are gaining access to the knives – kitchens and shops.
