Shaftesbury being a small town has very little police presence. The police station is closed and we would like to have it open again! Residents are starting to feel unsafe and also fustrated due to antisocial behaviour, van/cars being broken into.
Help reduce the drug issues/ lower crime rates which are on an up.
Protect local businesses and people's homes, cars and vans. General Property.
Make the residents feel safer.
Help stop people wanting to move away. With more houses being built in the area we need our police station open
