Today I went to the Belgrave area of Leicester with my crime survey. It was a Sunday morning, so I did not knock on doors but concentrated on delivering the survey leaflet to domestic and business premises. I did, however, get chatting to a few people as I strolled about the area. Having introduced myself, I asked them of their experience of crime in the region. The subject that came up most was that of cars being broken into, or in one case stolen. One person said that they worked in a shop on Belgrave Road, he said that shoplifting had become considerably worse over the past few months. As I say, however, this was primarily a leaflet drop operation, so I will wait to see what the surveys that are posted back to my campaign have to say.
I shot a couple of short videos while I was there. To see them follow these links:
