Thank you to our Chadderton Neighbourhood team for the walkabout to discuss how they’re tackling crime and ASB issues in the constituency.
We visited Coalshaw Green Park and the South Chadderton Metrolink station to discuss how officers are dealing with and tackling crime and anti-social behaviour at street level, and what I can do to support as your Member of Parliament.
The team are using street level policing as a way to engage with the community and deter our youth from causing trouble in the area, which had increased over the summer months.
We also discussed some ongoing issues with crime on the Metrolink and how best to go about tackling the issue.
I was impressed at their passion and dedication to keeping our streets safe, they do brilliant work.
A Safe Place was one of my priorities at the election and I am pleased to see the work the police are doing on a daily basis to ensure we are confident and safe in where we live.
The Labour government will support the police in the work they do to serve our communities, in the July Kings Speech we announced a Crime and Policing Bill: to rebuild community policing and a Victims, Courts, and Public Protection Bill: to ensure victims get the support they deserve.
