Statement to voters

Safer Streets.

Full statement

Stronger Communities.

Everyone should feel safe in their own homes and businesses, on their local streets, and in their communities.

Reduce serious and violent crime. I will work with partners in education, health and the voluntary sector and invest in programmes to reduce violence against women and girls, knife crime, county lines and rural crime. Prevention, protection and prosecution will be the priorities for Northumbria Police.

Tackle the menace of Anti-Social Behaviour. Too many people do not feel safe in their communities, businesses and on public transport. I will ensure that the Police have a pro-active presence to deter those who spoil our environment through vandalism, shoplifting and illegal riding of motorbikes and electric bikes.

Restore neighbourhood policing. I will invest in more neighbourhood police officers and PCSOs, to patrol our villages, towns and cities, restoring visibility, trust and confidence in our Police. By building relationships with residents and business owners, we will ensure that local issues and concerns are addressed.

Communicating with and listening to you. I will hold regular consultation events in every local authority area to enable you to inform our policing priorities and hold the Police to account. This will ensure that you feel properly represented and protected by the Police and confident reporting crimes and knowing criminals will be pursued.

Properly funded Police and Public Services. I will fight for the restoration of sustainable police funding to invest in the personnel and modern technology needed to fight crime in the 21st century and for properly funded public services, so the Police are freed up to do the job they signed up for.

Prepared by Arlene Ainsley, election agent, of Labour North, King’s Manor, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 6PA on behalf of Susan Dungworth.
