🗣Residents in Garston have told us they feel unsafe in their area due to recent incidents of crime and ASB. Everybody has the right to live in safety which is why we are listening to these concerns and taking steps, such as increased high-visibility patrols, to disrupt and prevent criminal activity. On Friday, I joined the local policing team, councillors & other partners, to see & hear about some of these issues & to raise awareness of @CrimestoppersUK anonymous reporting service. By reporting a crime, you are helping to make Merseyside a safer place for all. 📞
