That's wrong, every area is affected by drugs, and blighted by the crime that fund it.

Also if you know of anyone openly dealing drugs report them. I have, and the police acted on the information, so you're wrong there too.

IMO if accy is causing its locals problems ,then its time they were sorted .It may be a nationwide problem but it is down to the locals to voice their opinions on their OWN town because if they didnt it would continue to be the same as everywhere else and surely if thats the case the said problems would only get worse through people ignoring them ..

I know its a long shot but wouldnt it be good to hear that accy is finally becomeing one of the safest places to be....

dont fully agree rindy ..imo your local press can be one of your strongest weapons ..and if more towns/cities can see one town making a vast improvement then it will slowly be tackled nationally.




Got a problem? See your councillor, see your MP. Know about drug dealers/louts/vandals? Report them to the police. That's what they are there fore, and they do act, I know personally.



fully agree .in order to try and conquer any local issues know your community.. observe the problems and troublemakers with much detail , log, report and keep recordsit is one of the many things that can help IMO



In my experience direct action brings about much better results than just moaning about problems, here or in the local press.

Well from now on i will be there to question and queery everything that does not improve the area, everything that degrades or affects the living conditions of us all.
