The Government has announced a return to neighbourhood policing through a £200 million investment boost to deliver 13,000 dedicated community police officers and PCSOs across the country to make streets safer.
At the general election, I pledged to make it my priority as a constituency MP to make Oldham West, Chadderton & Royton a safer place to live. The Government’s cash uplift and focus on community strategy will help this mission locally by enabling greater visibility of police on our streets, quicker response times, and rebuilding neighbourhood services after years of Tory cuts.
Everyone has the right to feel safe in our local area. Neighbourhood police services will help to protect our town centre and provide stronger action against any antisocial behaviour that threatens our community.
