In a recent address, the Mayor of Lincolnshire has sparked conversation amongst local residents over the validity of his claim about a ‘lawless Britain’. This followed a surge in instances of anti-social behaviour and crime reports across the area. In interviews conducted by our team on Lincoln streets, numerous locals agreed with the Mayor’s viewpoint. Conversely, others were of the belief that though there are tangible issues, to label the entire country as ‘lawless’ could be a stretch.
Lincolnshire Police have given reassurances to residents, stating they are putting great efforts into tackling these issues. Their plan includes an emphasis on community policing and an increase in visible presence in identified problem areas. The ongoing discussions have underlined the crucial necessity for ongoing community engagement, as well as collaboration with policing forces, in order to guarantee the safety and welfare of all residents.
