Hot topic this one…
Over the years this sleepy little village has become far more and had developed into a town very much in growth. Once a retirement haven those retirees had their family’s also take a shine to Selsey and also move here.
Unfortunately with people comes crime and that is on the rise at an alarming rate here in Selsey so where are the police? Over 10 years ago Selsey Police station closed its doors for the last time. Chichester police station has since had its custody suite closed and it’s numbers slashed due to the UK Government’s cutbacks. Policing here is now reactive rather than proactive and often misses the mark.
It’s often thrown around that Selsey is lawless and we’re hearing that more and more. It would be easy to say it’s just children but it’s adults too. With the cost of living crisis set to hit an all time peak when winter heating bills come in, will it get worse?
People wealding weapons, unprovoked attacks, fights in the street, robberies, threats and the list goes on.
The individuals need to be held to account for their actions and it’s only the police that can do this, so what’s the answer?
We’d love to hear your views……
