It's the Lib Dems that sort out Crime

Crime Action in Euclid Play Area

The Swindon Advertiser reported that as the Tories broke a sweat about the town's anti-social behaviour figures, Lib Dem areas were being cleaned up.

Complaints of anti-social behaviour could be as high as 100,000 per year.

West Swindon Tory Cllr Wakefield admitted the figures were 'high' but he wasn't surprised. He added he didn't "want the people of Swindon to think there's a surge."

Another Tory admitted the Council was failing to reply to resident's complaints.

Meanwhile Lib Dems Cllrs in town centre have been leading the fight against anti-social behaviour and the Adver said the partnership had been "getting it right" as pressure from the Lib Dems lead to more Police presence. Residents reported problems of drug-dealing and property destruction had decreased.

Cllr Dave Wood (Lib Dem, Eastcott) said: "It seems clear that it's only the Liberal Democrats here in Swindon that seem capable of staying on top of crime and anti-social behaviour."
