Well done, Councillor Dawn Barnett. It's about time we had CCTV in Hangleton Road - and it's only taken ten years.

I feel we are the "forgotten country". Whenever we have phoned the police, all we hear is a crime number.

When my daughter phoned them to report a man being assaulted in Hangleton Road, the operator asked where Hangleton Road was.

They phoned back 72 hours later to find out if he was all right.

But everything was fine because two policeman were north of Hangleton Road with a speed gun - so that makes me feel safe walking the streets of Hangleton.

It's a shame but, as they still say, it takes a woman to get things done.
