Crime in Droylsden fell over the last decade due to the resources invested by the last Labour Government.
Independent checks on crime statistics confirm that local people are safer now than for many years.
Earlier this year your Labour team helped lead a campaign highlighting how the Tory led Government was forcing an unprecedented and massive 20% cut to Police budgets.
These Tory cuts mean the loss of over 3000 frontline & support officers - throughout all towns in Gtr Manchester.
The concerns we raised remain. How will these huge & draconian cuts to police funds affect Droylsden?
As Cllr Sue Quinn said, “Over the last few weeks we have been knocking on doors, having a conversation with local people about issues in our town and seeing how we can help.
The one topic that comes up time and again are the cuts. Local people are afraid about what will happen, not only to them and their families, but also to the area we live.”
As Cllr Jim Middleton said “If we are to keep extra police on our streets we have to accept that this has to happen.”
We will stand firm and make sure that our police station is not under threat from the Tory cuts.
