Manchester Promise - Crime

For more than a decade Manchester Labour has worked successfully with our communities and the police to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour, fear of crime and anti-social behaviour, and to build pride and respect in ourselves, each other, and our neighbourhoods. We have used every power made available to us, lobbied successfully for more, and are seen nationally as a beacon because of our approach.

But there is still much to do.

At the heart of our approach are Neighbourhood partnerships and Neighbourhood Policing, the Respect and Pride agenda, bringing the Council, the police, and other agencies together with communities to improve every neighbourhood in the city.

* We promise we will continue to make use of all legal powers available to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour

* We promise to continue the work with the police to tackle serious crime, gang crime, and guns and knives on our streets

* We promise to campaign for more beat bobbies in Manchester

* We promise to take positive action to tackle drugs and alcohol, including against badly managed off-licenses

* We promise we will work with and support all our communities to build Pride and Respect

* We promise to campaign to strengthen the laws on firearms, fireworks, support for witnesses,sale of alcohol,off-road bikes, and hate crime
