MP for Gedling, Tom Randall has raised his constituents’ concerns about crime with the local Police Inspector Mark Stanley.
Mr Randall raised issues around anti-social behaviour in Arnold and the damage to empty properties in Burton Joyce.
He said: “Every quarter, I discuss local policing priorities with Gedling’s Police Inspector.
“Usually, these focus on specific issues which residents have raised with me that are affecting them personally, but I’ve had a number of people write to me about more general concerns about anti-social behaviour in places in Arnold: the incident with an assault on a teenager in Arnold and the yobs on roofs in Front Street have been well publicised locally. McDonalds has also been a hotspot.
“Beyond Arnold, there have also been issues with young lads breaking into empty homes and damaging property in Lambley Lane in Burton Joyce.
‘”In my meeting with the police this morning, I was pleased to hear that arrests have been made in relation to the assault. More broadly, the police are going to talk to local businesses to improve security to their buildings to stop access by those who want to cause disruption.
“There is a further programme of work alongside the local Council on issuing behaviour contracts, implementing curfews and the police will be carrying out an operation throughout the summer with an increased police presence.
He added: “I’m pleased to hear that there will be proactive work on this. In terms of the broader preventative work, I’ll be having further meetings with the police and inputting into their work on the architectural review. I will be also be speaking to the County Council’s Youth Service Department on activities for young people, especially during the school holidays.’
whats wrong with mp randall, start with nottinghamshire chief constable work your way down not from the bottom up ,maybe election 24 will liven you up to look after your constituents till then.
And what about all the police and PCSO’s cut by the Tories? Even with the new PC’s being recruited, there will still be many fewer on the streets
