MAYOR HAS FAILED TO HIT HIS CRIME TARGET BY 31.5%

The Mayor this week refused to commit to a target figure for reducing crime in future years while being questioned by Graham Tope at Mayors Question Time.

Graham Tope commented, “In January 2004 the Mayor pledged to reduce crime by 50% by 2008. He has failed to hit this target by almost two-thirds. At the Mayors Question Time meeting I challenged him to be held accountable for his future actions and he refused, yet again, sticking his head in the sand. The Mayor’s dismal record on crime needs to be highlighted. Actual crime has not fallen and it is misleading for him to claim it has. Ken can lie about his crime-fighting reputation, but he is no superhero.”
