MHK's warning as chief constable's report goes to Tynwald
A Douglas South MHK says some elderly people are 'living in fear' due to anti-social behaviour.
Chief Constable Gary Roberts' annual report was received by Tynwald this morning (21 July).
It highlighted a 'year like no other' in which crime on the Island rose by 18 per cent.
Members debated the outcome of the report with some sharing the experiences of their constituents.
Paul Quine gave examples of what officers are up against:
Person suffers 'significant injuries' in 'serious assault' near Peel
Police are appealing for witnesses
Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
But not every member was on board with the plans
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
Application lodged for 'The Steam Yard' on Lord Street site
Employment grievance 'upheld' against board of Peel Commissioners
Local authority says independent HR consultant was hired to investigate
