We've been looking at the crime map of Wisbech http://tinyurl.com/4asmauw Cambridgeshire, UK#crimetypes. Looking at the numbers of total crimes (319 with 148 of them related to Anti Social Behaviour) we initially thought that it was less than anticipated...until we realised that this was JUST December 2010!

Bubbleboy, I have no problem with your style or rhetoric usually - but that post I did have a problem with. I'm sure you'd prefer me to say so honestly rather than snipe at you behind your back. We can disagree as gentlemen without it being an issue, I reckon?

In regards to local crime - I wish everybody would report issues to the police. Too many are moaned about but unreported. Even though I understand this (and have done it myself) I suspect if the true figure were known we'd see a starker picture.

My hope is that the changes in the constabulary - with elected police chiefs coming soon - will be a real driver for change.

Actually, Bubbleboy, my blog gets a pretty good hit rate too. But hits are not necessarily "visitors" either there, or on facebook. The internet is somewhat more subtle than that.

I'm not on the town council, by the way. Though my good friend Cllr Samantha Hoy is (and a fine job she does too!)

I promise you - my hands are not tied. I challenge problems where I see them without any fear of doing so.

While you and I may not agree on all issues - I think we share a love of the Fens and of Wisbech. With that in mind, if there's ever anything I can do to help - let me know.

Hope you return to the internet soon. The more the merrier, I say!
