I can't comment on the situation on Accrington as I don't live there anymore. You say that there is no one who doesn't agree with your statement that the streets are safe at night. I'd be interested to hear what other local residents have to say about that. I do know that the problem is rampant where I live and that the scum who cause it all seem completely fearless.
Incidentally, I like the way you start your post with the phrase "another Labour hater" as if I'm some kind of rare species. Do you realise just how much people (including Labour voters) despise this present Labour government? Obviously not.

This week it was announced that in Accrington Town Centre, violence since the Licensing Laws came in, is down 49%. The streets of my ward have never been safer (18 years lived here). Lancs Constabulary are at the forefront nationwide of neighbourhood policing mind you, so you might not be benefitting as yet.
Given the problems we had before, it would be a tragedy if Cameron's tax cuts, and policies for the wealthy ended up taking us back to 1997.
