MORE RESOURCES NEEDED TO

TACKLE GUN CRIME IN

FALLOWFIELD

Following the second gun related incident in Fallowfield in a two-month period local councillors are calling for more resources in the community.

Councillor Mike Amesbury stated: "In recent months we have seen a number of initiatives targeted at the areas of Hulme and Mosside to deal with the situation in these neighbouring communities. While we welcome theses resource for dealing with this issue citywide we are making a strong plea to add to focus to the Fallowfield Community.

We have an excellent neighbourhood police team but they need the support of officers that have been specially trained to deal with gun crime. The community needs to be reassured that the unacceptable use of guns will be stamped out at the earliest possible stage".
