I AGREE with Toby Brewster, Argus 29th May, regarding lack of security on our streets.
At the present moment in time we are being re-active and not pro-active. Our best security was the Bobby on the beat who had his ear to the ground and could point out most trouble makers on their beat.
Today we seem to have given up the streets to the law breakers big and small. ‘A good example of what not to do’. The Mayor of New York, (USA) realised this some years ago and increased the policeman on the beat, with benefits. Politicians take note.
