Kingstanding Neighbourhood Forum

The forum have had tremendous support and encouragement from the local police. The forum has always found total support in relation to reports of incidences and all residents problems which have been brought to our attention. In saying this, ourselves and the local police, can only act in such matters when they are brought to our attention. We look forward to continuing our part in this and will always give full attention to residents who contact us in regard to these relevant matters. Both we and the local police recognise that Rome wasn't built in a day but if we all work together we are sure that for the residents of Kingstanding tomorrow can be a better day.

TOPIC (SELECTIVE POLICING IN KINGSTANDING) DUE TO A NUMBER OF EXPERIENCES WITH LOCAL THUGS AND MAINLY THE POLICE.
RIGHT WHERE DO I START IT IS HARD FOR ME TO DIFERENTIATE BETWEEN POLICE OFFICERS AND LOCAL THUGS AS THEY BOTH TREAT YOU WITH THE SAME RESPECT I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE WITH THE LOCAL POLICE AS I HAVE PLENTY OF DEALINGS WITH THEM WITH 100% NO HELP I HAVE NOTICED THAT IF YOU YOUR SELF HAS A CRIMINAL RECORD OR A MEMBER OF THE IMMEDIATE FAMILYIS ALSO KNOWN TO POLICE THE WHOLE FAMILY SUFFERS.
