Cllr David
Potter,
the man
who brought you
Community Wardens
|
Community Wardens started work
in January 2004, thanks to your Labour-Led Council at
Basingstoke. Ten
wardens now operate in Buckskin, Oakridge, Popley, South Ham and Tadley.
The wardens work in pairs with staggered shifts. They are based at John Hunt of Everest School in Popley, with local
bases in South Ham and Tadley. Community
Wardens :
* Help reduce crime and nuisance
* Help the environment, tackling litter and graffiti.
* Help residents with building up the community.
Since
their introduction, we are already seeing positive results in Buckskin and
Kempshott. The
secret of Success for Community Wardens is their ability to connect with
the community. First and foremost, they are not there to arrest
people: that is the job of the police. Evidence from across the country
shows that the most successful schemes do not have wardens with powers of
arrest: that makes them "poor mens' policemen" and, crucially,
loses them a significant slice of the public's trust. Community
Wardens is a scheme championed by the Labour Government which has been
phenomenally successful across the country.

Labour Targets Yob
Culture
Hooligans as young
as 16 will face fines of up to £80 as part of David Blunkett's
new measures against
anti-social behaviour.
£75 million is being spent over
the next 3 years to support the drive to tackle anti-social behaviour.
Locally, youth
nuisance is becoming more of a problem, and is being reported for the
first time in formerly quiet estates such as Harrow Way, Hatch Warren,
Kempshott and Chineham.
Locally and nationally, Labour has a wide range of plans to deal with
youth nuisance:
* more Police on the beat
*
the introduction of Neighbourhood Wardens
following the successful Buckskin pilot
* the setting up of youth schemes along the lines of the successful scheme
at Winklebury,
which has significantly reduced crime there
* investing in Youth Workers
Labour is
determined to deliver on this critical issue.
Lest
We Forget
Peter
Lewington, the Tory Councillor for Kempshott, was forced to resign on
19th March 2003 after not attending any meetings for over 6 months.
This is an absolute scandal. A councillor should be serious and not
deceive the electorate with pretensions to represention.
If you've lived in Kempshott and voted Tory all these years, is this the
sort of representation you want? The
Tory party
choose candidates who are not up to the job to represent you. We would urge all
Kempshott residents: Vote for the person who will best represent
you, not the party.
Yet what really indicts the Tories is they knew all about Peter
Lewington yet still moved him from Chineham to fight a safer seat in
Kempshott at the last local election.
All Labour Councillors are required to work for your community. If they
don't, they are de-selected.
