Robbery Good News For Wolverhampton

There is a really important partnership working in Wolverhampton and at its heart is the Robbery Task Force which is working with other agencies to reduce robbery in Wolverhampton City Centre.
Councillor Phil Bateman said " This has been an important strategy for the city, and the agencies that are contributing to the partnership. I have had a whisper that the results for Wolverhampton are not only good, but indicate that all the hard work that the partners are putting in to deter robbery in the City Centre is working.......and working well.

Since the start of April which launched the campaign there has been a significant drop in robbery crime each and every month. Government Office of the West Midlands describe the results as a 'consistent performance by Wolverhampton throughout the entire monitoring period.'

As a City Councillor I want to pass on my congratulations to all those involved, and I look forward to seeing the full information published in due course.
