Walked through the town on Saturday and Sunday morning and was disapointed to see three or four shop windows had been smashed. I like to think I live in a "nice town" but this really doesn't help [:(!]. Why during the day are there three or more traffic wardens on patrol but at night hardly any police or PCSO's. [:(!] [:(!]

I suspect because the Parking Attendants or whatever we now have to call them bring in revenue to cover their costs, police and PCO'S don't. There was an attempted break in opposite us in the early hours of last Sunday it was Thursday before we had a visit to see if we saw anything, not that we would at 3 AM but I thought it was rather a long time after the event!

Don't want to insult the PCSO's but I really don't know what they are there for. Have never had the need to talk to or use one but haven't read about what they should be doing, what hours they work what powers they have etc....

We had a PCSO turn up who ran us through what we could do, wrote out a letter to the landlord to get the door sorted security wise otherwise the council would fine them for unsuitable living conditions and notified the police to look for the little ****s, who had apparently been causing trouble elsewhere on the road earlier in the night. In other words, they appear to be there to remove red-tape situations from the 'emergency response units' as that PCSO described them.

Blimey, I didn't realise Sele Farm was rife with thugs. It must be a very dangerous place to walk around. I guess that there must be assaults carried out on a regular basis.

I wonder if vandalism/crime in general has increased on the route back to Sele farm from the Wetherspoons? I think the have mistaken it for the old job centre next door
