 The latesrt monthly "stats" have just been released by www.police.co.uk They show crimes reported within a mile radius of the police station in Barnard Avenue. Half the reported incidents were in, or close to, the town centre, four being in the Bigby Street/Cross Street area. It's good that the crime stats are made available online like this but we still believe there is a place for the traditional system when our local police inspector delivered a detailed, verbal report during a public meeting in the Angel Suite, when interested local people could ask questions, face to face. These sessions were stopped by the police a few years ago. | ||
