Hayes Needs Respect
Listening to people on the streets this week, it’s clear that neither Labour or the Tories are giving Hayes the respect it deserves. One lady I spoke to had lived in this area for over 40 years and was adamant that the problems we find on the streets here are all down to a lack of respect. Unfortunately, she felt that the situation is getting worse and worse. It is true that a lot of these problems are caused by anti-social youngsters, with not a police officer in sight to stop them. However, many young people also feel just as intimidated as the more senior citizens here. One mother I spoke to told me that her son had been mugged TWICE and that nothing was being down to make this area safer for her family. Just what are the Labour councillors and Tory council doing to stop these unacceptable events from happening? Why can we not see anything being done? When will they show Hayes the respect it deserves?
I want to work with everyone in this community to make it safer for all of us. I want police, not gangs of teenagers, on our street corners. It’s about time Hayes had someone who can get it done.
