What use will this be? The troublemakers will be back once police have gone. Police can’t afford this level of patrols for long. Nowt will change
This won’t make a difference to the man who lives here. He is always out in the early hours and I don’t trust him at all.he has lived for about fifteen months and in that time we have had the police here FORTY TIMES. He always has different bikes and mobility scooters, but he seems to get away with anything and everything.
