Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour
I’m well aware of my constituents concerns about crime and anti-social behaviour in the Town centre. The reality is the Labour led council could be doing far more. The whole of the Town Centre is covered by a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) giving the Borough Council a suite of powers to tackle crime and anti social behaviour in the Town centre. The reality is they are doing very little. For example, the large groups of men drinking alcohol in the Town centre. Council officers could engage with these groups and request they bin the alcohol but they don’t.
Both Ipswich Borough Council and Suffolk Police need to adopt a zero tolerance approach to tackling crime and anti social behaviour in the Town centre. To date, sadly, this hasn’t been the case.
I raised my concerns today with the Secretary State.
