Mike Hall MP comments on the neighbourhood policing plan for Weaver Vale

“Crime is down 32 per cent since 1997. Yet I recognise that there is more to do. I know that there are still real problems in some areas. Crime and anti-social behaviour can make people’s lives a misery; crime can leave us feeling powerless and afraid.

“That’s why I believe we need to continue to take the tough action necessary to tackle crime and take on the thugs and criminals. I believe that the decent, law-abiding majority have a fundamental right to feel safe in their homes and on their streets.

“Neighbourhood policing gives local people power over how their areas are policed. It is a new style of policing to address local priorities, improve public confidence and make neighbourhoods safer.

“These police teams, dedicated to your area and listening to you, will be able to deal with local problems and tackle anti-social behaviour like vandalism, littering and graffiti. And they will be easy to get hold of because local police forces will publish their details, such as names and phone numbers, so they can easily hear from local people and get to know their neighbourhoods.

“I know that people want more say about their community and a police service that is visible, responsive and deals with local problems. That's why you have had a dedicated neighbourhood police team in your area.  Bobbies on the beat in our streets make all of us feel safer and neighbourhood police teams will provide local policing based around your priorities.

“I’m constantly working with the police and the local council – as well as ministers and government agencies – to improve the response to crime in Weaver Vale so that decent people feel supported and offenders are forced to stop. 

“My job as your MP is to make sure people listen to your experiences and tell you and me what they will do to help.  So if you want to talk about what we can do to fight crime in your area please get in touch with me.”
