Cropton Park crime and disorder

John Fareham and John Abbott have been working to help prevent break-ins and antisocial behaviour during the rebuilding of the Wyke rugby league clubhouse at Cropton Park. Reports were coming in of a series of attempted break-ins and various anti-social behaviour incidents on site. Arrangements have therefore been made for the area team and others to liaise with the rugby league club and with the Police in order to implement security measures and ensure the area is covered by patrols while the building work is in progress. It goes without saying that we will be prepared to assist further if necessary, not least because we know that this is a popular local community facility, with large numbers of children attending to learn how to play rugby league, and the last thing we want is for crime and disorder to rear their ugly heads and interfere with important enhancements to local recreational provision.
