More Damage Recorded

Councillor Phil Bateman said "Incidents of more criminal damage continue to reach me.

This time I have been informed of senior citizens who have been targeted in Barnard Road, the out come being more windows broken by stone throwing morons."."
The police do not seem able to deal with this type of crime, in the last couple of weeks, a bus shelter has been attacked on Griffith Drive, stone throwing on Barnard road, a stone thrown at a bus breaking a window in Griffith Drive putting passengers and bus drivers at risk.

The list seems to be growing by the day! The community is looking at the police to protect and to serve them, but there is growing frustration that there appears to be little success in detecting and charging these offenders.

Criminal damage is by far the highest statistic in the league table of crime being committed on the estate. I appeal to the police to raise their profile and inform the community of their actions and the success that they have had in combating these criminals."
