Opposing Labours Crime Fund Cut

Full Text of Petition

The Government has cut Liverpool's Crime Fund (Safer and Sronger Communitues Fund) from £3.6m to £1.7m from April, despite the murder of 11-year-old Rhys Jones.

This money is used to tackle anti social behaviour and to support the police. The reduction in funding will threaten planned investment in the city's CCTV network, contributions to help the police fund Police Community Support Officers and campaigns to clean up the city.

The council's community safety leader Cllr Colin Eldridge said: "This is a slap in the face to the people of Liverpool who have had a terrible deal compared to almost any other city."

Help prevent the contribution to community safety schemes from being more than halved.
