00:00 I think it's been lacking in the past but I think it's going to be a really good thing
00:12 for the future, I really do.
00:14 And it will definitely be beneficial.
00:17 It would be nice to see a police presence because when something happens, I had to ring
00:24 them the other week myself because they waterbombed our car going over the bridge and we could
00:29 have had an accident because it hit the car with real force.
00:34 I did ring the police, whether they came out I don't know.
00:37 Yeah I think having a police presence in the town is a really positive thing.
00:41 I think it will put young people off committing crime if they know there's a police presence
00:46 around.
00:47 I think it just stops them doing it in the first place.
00:50 I think it will be beneficial to have a police hub in the town centre.
00:53 I think it's a bit more convenient than having everyone in the police station which is outside
00:59 of this town centre so people can respond to any antisocial behaviour a bit faster than
01:04 they would otherwise be able to.
01:07 I think having a more central will be good.
01:11 I always thought that having one more central would be good anywhere.
01:14 Yeah, it's a good idea.
01:15 It's always handy to have a policeman in town, you know, parking and things like that.
01:16 Obviously vehicles in the market so we should see that.
01:26 I think it may be a good idea for the fact that we don't see all that many police about
01:32 because they're based at Mansfield.
01:34 So probably a better response.
01:38 Yeah I think so.
01:40 I think you need some sort of presence in the town and I think that would be very good.
01:47 I think it's a good idea.
01:50 But we do really need more police around the areas as well in Newark sort of thing.
01:55 Where we live it's not very well looked after at all.
01:58 But putting it in there, yes, totally agree.
02:03 Just nice to have the police around.
02:05 It's reassuring, you know, for people, especially the older generation.
02:08 So it's better to be on the spot when it's troubling than out of town when there's no
02:14 trouble.
