It was a real honour to welcome the Home Secretary to Bassetlaw and to see first-hand some of the steps being taken to tackle crime locally and make our streets safer.
Local people have told me that they want to see an increase in police numbers, and I’m pleased that Nottinghamshire is well on track to recruit and deploy new officers.
I also shared our experiences of anti-social behaviour locally and making sure victims of crime are given the justice they deserve, such as the recent arson attack in Carlton in Lindrick, problems around the Trader Clock in Worksop and other instances in Harworth and Retford, where we finished our visit.
