Chief minister thinks figures should be put in context
The chief minister claims an increase in crime has not made the Island a less safe place to live.
Allan Bell made the comments in the wake of the Police Constable's Annual Report, which was released earlier this week.
In addition to the nine per cent rise in recorded crime, the report shows the police are being stretched operationally following budget cuts.
But Mr Bell says the figures should be put in context:
Health Minister says work is 'underway' on access road to The Roundhouse
Braddan Commissioners says it has only cleared the landÂ
Higher taxi tariff now in force from 11pm
Taxi driver brands RTLC change 'a disgrace'
Private members bill regarding Bishop’s vote makes progress
Third reading will take place in the next few weeks
Braddan Commissioner 'refutes' allegations of misrepresenting Roundhouse access issues
It follows an FOI request which shows claims made by Minister Hooper
Disqualification for driver who was three times the drug limit
Port Erin man also fined during appearance at Douglas Courthouse
Southern Amenity Site changes disposal policy for residents to six bags a month
The board says the rule isn't 'unreasonable'
