Make the U.K streets safe again!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I am a mother of 2 children. One child is 13yrs old & he can no longer go outside to play, to socialise, to learn & to build friendships. Why? Because the risk of him being stabbed or most commonly robbed is so high!!
The streets are no longer safe and everyone risks being a new target!
I am sick to death of reading and hearing about people being robbed, stabbed and abused on our streets daily.

Where are the police? Why have there been so many cuts?

People sadly no longer feel safe living in the U.K. The gangs are running our streets, not the government!

This needs to stop!
We need our streets back!
We need more control!
We need more police!!
We need our voices heard!

As U.K residents who pay tax to live here, we should feel safe.

Action needs to be taken NOW!
