Hartoft Road shops

John Fareham and John Abbott are working with the Police to deal with anti-social behaviour issues in the vicinity of the Hartoft Road shops.

Obviously outside the shops is not the only place where such antics take place, but we hear reports of such distasteful antics as attacks on members of the minority communities carried out by persons who are known to the Police.  The Police and ourselves are in agreement that more local residents will need to come forward and give evidence if these matters are to be properly resolved.  The Police and Crime Commissioner has apparently committed more funds to police recruitment, but what effect if any that will have on local police numbers remains to be seen. We certainly hope it will not run parallel to the attitude of some of his Labour colleagues to the allocation of library funds – the less said about the element of partisanship in that the better!
