These incidents are becoming quite tiresome, and are not doing Thanet any good. Stabbings, hammer bashing, all becoming a fashion in this once glorious setting.
Time for tighter Police controlling this area.
Time for tighter Police control? How about some Police to do it with?
The most crime ridden town in Kent and you never see any Police officers on foot. There would be lots for them to do as Cliftonville is pretty lawless at times. It’s no good them sitting in cars driving past incidents taking place without noticing but that happens. It has been said a thousand times already but we need more officers on the ground in Margate, Cliftonville and Thanet as a whole.
