Addressing Key Local Issues

• Burdened Food Banks: Food banks are under immense pressure, with over half of the food parcels distributed going to children, highlighting a critical need for support and resources.

• Inadequate Policing: The closure of many police stations and the insufficient number of police officers on the streets have left the community feeling less safe and secure.
