LETTER: Keep police on the beat

All this new housing, bringing in more taxes that is not going where it is needed, but always plenty for sending abroad, clean needles and Methadone for people have no intention of getting clean, millions spent on interpreters and solicitors to get criminals off their crimes, the list is endless.

We need a party who has common sense, and good accounting skills, which the two main parties sadly do not possess.
