Crime tumbles in Cornwall

[whole diary]

[Chris from Nailsea]

Crime in Cornwall has dropped by just over 23%, according to figures published today. The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Community Safety Partnership said it was delighted to have exceeded its crime-busting target.

Partnership chairman Bob Crossland said its members had drawn up a "public service agreement" to reduce the number of offences in the Duchy by 15% as part of a three-year Home Office drive to cut crime. Performance was measured against 10 key crimes such as vehicle offences, domestic burglary, common assault and robbery.

On the other hand ...

A night curfew to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour should be rolled out across run-down parts of Cornwall, an MP^▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) has said.

Julia Goldsworthy said that residents of Close Hill in Redruth, where a pilot curfew is being trialled, have the right not to feel intimidated by large groups of youngsters hanging around street corners. The police initiative urges parents in the town to make sure their 16-year-olds and under, are home by 9pm and under-10s by 8pm. Police hope this scheme will prevent youngsters becoming victims of crime.

And this has SO much to do with Cornwalls railways. Sorry, but the related stories on this site are becoming a complete joke.

[Chris from Nailsea]

Matters of 'law and order', as they (adversely) affects users of our railways, are clearly a matter of concern to some of our members, oooooo.

See http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=3187.msg24395#msg24395 for example.

If you decide not to read such items, however, I won't be offended!

Nah, this is just taking the p*** now, basically any article to do with Cornwall could get in here under these rules. This site is loosing the plot and is no longer interesting with the floods of links that are allowed as they are 'relevant', yeah, whatever. Basically if the link involves Cornwall it can get posted here? Nah, rules need tightening, this is stupid.

Well I think that some of these links are becoming rather tenuous in their link to the railway, but then I also think that some of the other railway threads are becoming rather uninteresting.

Maybe as FGW^▸ (First Great Western) are improving, we are having to spread our discussions wider, as there are less criticisms of FGW which are the natural topic of such a discussion board.
