Just pure desperation. The local police officers in the Northfield and Ealing Common Ward are useless. I have been saying to local councillors for a few years now that the ultra low crime rate in Northfield ward is a fiction (remember recently when a couple of car loads of people had a shoot out on Occupation Lane and the local police described it as a "accidental fireamrs discharge") and that the crimes just weren't being recorded as crimes but being downgraded to something that did not require paperwork. My own experiences of the local police have been appalling and I do not trust them at all, either to respond, or to do anything about the crimes that I report, in fact they are more likely to arrest you and prosecute you for trying to bring something to their attention from personal experience than to do anything through a combination of Political Correctness, incompetance, Masonic handshakes, and support for the establishment. You have more chance of finding the local police having an after-hours beer in Crispins and pretending not to be policemen (or policewomen in particular) rather than fingering crooks in South Ealing.We don't need Section 60 we just need the ward officers from Ealing Common and Nortfield moved over to traffic. On my few visits to the Ward office I never found anyone there and no one ever responded to the speakerphone that was meant to be connected to the central police station.
