00:00 Huge thank you to Denise and Richard and the council and to Emma and Richard and Closer
00:05 and to everyone in West Yorkshire Police that's helped us together.
00:09 We've had a whole series of real challenges with shoplifting, with antisocial behaviour
00:14 in Casper just like in many town centres right across the country.
00:18 And now you have everybody working together to tackle that.
00:20 Just getting the police back on the streets in the town centre and then here to have this
00:25 hub for the local community is so important.
00:28 So huge thank you to all of you.
00:30 We're really keen to have exactly this kind of neighbourhood presence right in every town
00:36 right across the country and that's what we'll keep working for.
00:38 So really pleased to have that.
00:40 This is Yvette's idea.
00:42 It's her initiative is this and she needs to take the credit for it.
00:46 And that's what we feel but we've all worked together on this.
00:50 So thanks a lot.
00:52 Thank you.
00:53 Right, well if this is a chance to declare it open.
00:56 We're all going to have to help.
00:57 Council, police all together.
00:59 There you go.
01:00 Emma put your hand on as well.
01:01 That's it.
01:02 Brilliant.
01:03 Open.
01:04 Hooray!
01:05 Thank you.
