I really do think we should have a greater police presence in Aspatria although the cold nights seem to be keeping nearly everyone indoors.

I agree Bex, but their police cars have Air Conditioning so they should be warm while they drive/park.

lol I see that they have been around a little more this past week I have past 2 of them, one of them was on the lay by near the Golf Course last Sunday then again may be it was a quiet area for a nap.

I still cant understand why we dont get any "Police Presence" in here, it would help to pass information on. I know they are busy etc, i seen a ex police officer talking on a day time show last week, because he is standing for Mayor of London, but i agreed with what he said ...........

They took on Police Support Officers, who have limited knowledge, no powers of search / arrest, and place them on the Streets, then they make Police Officers stay in the office writing reports for some thing like 40 % of they day. Why didnt they keep the Support Officers int the offcie writing forms/reports and keep the Trained Police Officers on the streets??

Its a good questions, seems its been done the wrong way round!!

I see the police were out in force yesterday afternoon, stood outside the Queen St car park with a radar gun! Its a pity they chose a saturday afternoon though instead of a weekday evening.
They were not in Aspatria long either, but then news would have travelled around fast that they were there.

I seen them Bex, and yep news was fast because i was only out of the town a short while and when i came back they were gone, best thing was a car overtook me and was on the wrong side of the traffic island near the Red Lion.

Noticed the bus shelter got smashed on Friday night, out side the Church, don't think the kids like it.

I noticed the bus shelter had been smashed again on Sunday, I hope that the culprits are caught this time and made to pay for the damage. But you can bet your @## that the towns cctv will not have picked them up, so once again the town will have to foot the cost of replacing it.

I think the CCTV should be scrapped, it never actually catches any people commiting crime, or as it? does anyone actually know if it as been used in any Police action? I think it would be better biting the bullet and upgrading it and extending it.

I think i mentioned previously that unless it actually catches anyone and is used against them by the Police it will just be an expensive on-cost with no benefit to the Town.

My I am getting forgetful I had forgotten I had posted about the bus shelters being smashed and just posted the same thing in the vandalism section.

So do we know if the culprits were caught then?

Henry I have to agree with you cctv is no good unless it picks up the faces and manages assist the police in their capture.

CCTV, totally agree with comments and its time that the town upgrades these things, and stop hoping they will work and catch some one coz they wont!!!!

Upgrade them NOW please!
