It is nice to see that the hundreds of cash being pumped into 'Gang projects' is working.

Strangely there are no less than 3 cctv camera positions in the Brunner estate site & South Grove car park locations, all probably so that they capture irate visitors to the NCP parking shop.
ps When was the last (first even), occasion when you heard councillor Akram claim the cctv system was doing its' job of protecting public safety across the borough, and that so far, it had assisted in the successful prosecution of XX number of felons?
Perhaps someone with a brain in council could plant a hidden camera in one of the flower boxes.

This doesn't move me. The victim is highly likely to have been involved in something he shouldn't have been which 'annoyed' another criminal to the extent that they decided to put it upon themselves to find the former and knife him. Oh well...

In regards to the victim being invovled in something Blueprint, what right do you have to say that people are attacked for no reason all the time, like myself who was waiting at a bus stop and had my bag stolen and a black eye for it and I can tell you I am involed in nothing apart from going to work, owning a home and paying my taxes, so don;t tar everyone with the same brush unless you know the facts first.

I did see in James' O'Rourkes web site he credits these with being a good measure for combatting crime:
"Residents have stopped me in the street to tell me how much they appreciated the planters brightening up the areas where they have been installed and many said how much safer the planters made them feel” said Cllr James O’Rourke.

Personally, I think it might be helpful if in addition to the flowers there were a few more police on foot in the area, which is a known 'hotspot'; especially at the time of night when this incident took place.
