Drugs
The town is awash with drugs. (Keighley News)
There is Open dealing on the streets for class A and B drugs
Very high level of Drug Addicts Resident.
3
Violence
High levels of Violence for the size of the town
(including guns and stabbings).
Intimidation
Some of the worst stories I have heard have been
Intimidation of people who just want to get on with their lives.
1
Young White families who have Small budgets
and so choose to live in Ethnic parts of the town
2
Older residents who have houses with big gardens or who own land
To force them to sell.
5
Car crime
Boy racers endangering the general public
an explosion of illegal number plates
However your saying you're
Not poor,
Not a Boy Racer
and do not do drugs
So it does not affect you.
Lives can change in an Instant
Your children and sisters are at a safe Teenage party in a house
2 Uninvited Older males gate crash the party
Harassing the girls
Your sister phones you up and tells you to come and get her out
You and friends go up to see what is going on
You are stabbed 6 times
Your friends are stabbed 2 times each
No One is Safe in Keighley
Out side or in the House
Incidents are kept Deliberately low key
Question : By authority from who
It is therefore your Town and up to you to make it safe to
Walk
Party
This Cannot be done
Until Knifes and Drugs
are OUT of the equation of any incident
This can only be achieved Quickly
By bringing back Police stopping and Search Powers
I don’t have Problem being Stopped to see if I have Drugs or a Knife
I do have problem being Forced to carry an ID Card
