“I have only lived in Longlevens 6 months and i have had to deal with the younger ones out side the coop 2 times now and they will move if you dont talk to them like children you only have to ask them”

“s.churchdown. Theyre stuck in traffic in the side junction.dah.”

“I would like to know where they are at key times of day - especially at school times and in rush hour (particularly at the traffic lights near the King Teddy pub going on to the Cheltenham Road where the ignorant motorists insist on sitting on the yellow box when the traffic is heavy so no-one can pull out of the side junction!).”

“The only extra patrols in the area is the police car that sits out of view off Longford lane waiting to catch someone doing 35 in a 30 zone or the police officer in the dark at the bus stop with his speed gun waiting to make another fast buck for the police coffers. They always send in their counterparts the friendly community support officer for the real work. Where are they at school start and finish times to fine the regular illegal parkers or to monitor the red light jumpers or amber gamblers or the illegal parking at co-op corner or double parking at Tesco's. You don't see them on foot at night patrolling around the expensive new parks moving the druggies and young alcoholics on. Seems you and me the motorist are still the easy option, a teenager with a bottle of alcopops won't fill the police purse. If the local councillors looked at funding the youth club again a few more nights a week at the local church hall there would'nt be gangs of youths roaming the streets with nothing to do.”

“only 13 comments since 3rd feb?thats nice for house sellers.dont forget to tell future house buyers you live in a police patrol area.it will knock 10 grand off your asking price.longlevens is a large area.so name the roads not just the area.and teenagers in a group on a footpath is not a crime.sto curtain twitching and go out,say hello and meet them.get to know why there are no meeting venues.clubs that shut at 9pm are not worh dressing up for.”

“Police, who are they, the fictisious law upholders that we pay community tax to for a service we never get. No wonder people take the law into thier own hands. Then they come out of the darkness and prosecute you. No wonder these kids hang around causing trouble because they know no one will challenge them.”

“Police patrols, this is rubbish - it's a temporary measure, they've just moved them on - the police are useless, as we all know - after failing to deal properly with the "covered faces gangstaz".

Instead, the police drive past them waving and smiling at them, not wanting to get involved, thus giving them a free ticket to do as they please.”

“Actually " R, Gloucester " I DO NOT live near these schools, I walk my children to them and am fed up with ignorant law breaking lazy drivers, obviously one of which is you! They make the school crossing patrol jobs even more difficult and dangerous.”

“cazien, glos - you chose to live next to a school. Tuff really!”

“Police have probably done a great job outside Tesco's. Unfortunately kids seem to have moved down our way and are now taking great pleasure kicking down garden walls.It's been so long since I've seen a policeman I thought they only appeared on TV!”
