Hello good People,
My local police know more about criminality in my local area than I do, that’s their job.
What I never realised was how much they know my area, Parish in Londonese!, better than I do.
An example: I live on a street that runs directly from a Tube, Subway, Station, my local Neighbourhood Watch Officer mentions the local crack houses.
I look a little bemused but take a look anyway. Lo and behold the houses that back on to me: broken windows, pipes, roofs, sh1t in gardens and discarded and dirty furniture in the road.
Either I’m blind to what my neighbours do or, as one of my Metropolitan Police Service friends put it: 'you are stuck at the end of a Borough with teo others adjoining and also stuck between three adjoining Police Stations, none of whom want to take financial resposibility.
Do your local Police or representantives deal with life better?
Peter
