Liberal Democrats launch Election plans on policing

February 7, 2010 8:15 PM

Ashford Liberal Democrats have today set out their General Election plans to put more police on the beat.

The extra officers for Ashford, Tenterden and the Villages will be funded by the savings from scrapping ID cards, and are part of the Liberal Democrats' Safer Streets - More and Better Police manifesto commitment.

PPC for Ashford, Chris Took said:

"It was interesting to read in the Kentish Express the words of Ch Insp John Frayne. He outlined how the links between neighbourhood officers and the local community were essential in providing positive results."

"The Liberal Democrats believe expensive ID cards aren't going to improve results but an extra officer walking the beat, or more police in town areas over the weekend, will."

"The Liberal Democrats are committed to more police, and this is the only way to create safer streets."
