Concern On Wednesfield North

There is a lot of concern about the anti social behaviour that is taking place here in Wednesfield North. I have raised this issue with the police and I have been itemising incidents that have occurred and asking Wednesfield Police how they intend to deal with the problems.
My experience is that residents from across Wednesfield North have noticed the escalating issue that has materialised over the last year. Vandalism has occurred on private property and on public property. But there is little evidence of action being taken against perpetrators of these nuisance acts.

The community constantly inform me that 'the police are not taking action'. I think that the police are taking action, but they are not communicating well with the neighbourhood. I am keen to find out more about these issues so I shall publish the police response when I receive it from the Chief Superintendent.

In the meantime I would urge residents to report hooliganism and vandalism to the police when ever it occurs. We must some how break the chain that allows young people to make their selves such a nuisance, and create so much heartache and expense to the community.
