Operation welcome but more action needed in Heywood!

Commenting on 'Operation Sleeve' - Heywood Councillor Peter Rush said,

"I am delighted to see the police working with the Council to clean up Heywood. I also praise the 'reduction' in crime - this is just the type of activity that will assure Heywood residents and it is something I would like to see significantly more of. I still however have concerns - especially with our part time Police Station and will continue the fight to increase opening hours and the number of officers on the beat in Heywood. Yes, let's celebrate the success of one operation, but we must not get carried away with these statistics. This week at the Council Meeting, we are stepping all aspects of campaign to fight crime in Heywood and the Borough as a whole."
