The candidates for the three main parties standing to be Watford's MP in the General Election have their say on crime issues in the town.
A general election is likely this year, so in our new monthly feature the Watford Observer will be asking the candidates for the three main parties standing to be the town’s MP a question of topical concern and publishing their answers.
"Since the start of the reporting year , our local police have recorded less crime and anti-social behaviour compared to the same period last year. "I will always back our brave police to keep our streets safe. The new police station proves once again that when I make a promise I will do all I can to deliver for Watford.", only last week the front-page headline was 'Attacker stabs teen in the face'."Violent crime makes up over 27 per cent of all crime reported in Watford. That is a shocking statistic. When I talk to people, they are worried by it, and by the anti-social behaviour and theft in our town.
"Labour will deal with the twin challenges of reducing serious violent crime and raising confidence in the police.
