I’m committed to making sure that Rochester and Strood is safe and crime prevention is key to this.

I want to see more police officers out on Friday and Saturday nights to reduce crime fueled by alcohol, which mainly takes place on Rochester and Chatham High Streets.

However I know that it's not just our High Streets that are problem areas, other areas around the constituency are as well and I will work with Kent Police to reduce crime for the benefit of all - people should be able to feel safe in their own town.

If you have a problem in your area then filll in my crime survey below, and sign the petition to get more police on the beat.
