Back from Holiday – what a welcome!
Apologies for the delay in writing - I have been busy since our return from a family holiday getting to grips with work, putting the finishing touches to three new pieces of literature to be used by the campaign in Aberconwy and wasting time dealing with an act of vandalism that has left me annoyed with the vandal and North Wales Police.
We came home late on Saturday to find my car (six weeks old) badly scratched on three doors, the front wing and the bonnet. The damage is in the region of £1,200. I was one of nine cars damaged in our street with one family having three cars vandalised. The total cost faced by the owners of these vehicles was, I suspect, in the region of £10,000. According to my next door neighbour (two damaged cars) the incident happened on the night of the 'A' level results. A coincidence?
The worst part of the situation is that despite telephoning a contact number at the Police Station at least twice a day since Saturday and visiting the police station in person on Monday morning I have not yet received a call to discuss the matter or to provide me with an incident number. Is this the effective police force that our departed Chief Constable was claiming to have improved significantly? And of course, no one, not a single person affected by this incident have any expectation that the culprits will be caught. Is it any wonder that ordinary people are increasingly unhappy with the priorities of our police force?
