After our posting on 3 March "*Crime** increase around Oxford Road?*" we also happily noticed a significant reduction in Crime in Oxford Road since the the horsebox was placed round the corner in Trill Road.
Whilst of course not crime free e.g.attempted armed robbery attack right next to me, there has been a sharp decline of incidents reported on the 3 WhatsApp Alert Groups including James Street. A reduction from 27 (reported) incidents in just over a month to only a few is by my standards significant. Thanks to Obsid, OPS, all those alert foot and mobile patrollers as well as Saps who's increased patrols all have been noticed with gratitude in our streets.
