New police station for Sutton-in-Ashfield

As residents of Sutton-in-Ashfield and surrounding areas, we want a properly funded and resourced police station with more officers on the streets.

Due to Conservative cuts and mismanagement by the Ashfield Independent led administration, crimes in Sutton have risen 22% and we have lost 34 police officers in the area. This has had a severe impact on the area locally and has left local people having to wait longer for responses and has led to increased levels of anti-social behaviour. We have also seen drugs and burglary related problems develop in surrounding areas such as Stanton Hill, Teversal and Skegby. This is only possible through a new police station for Sutton-in-Ashfield which is properly staffed and resourced.

Local people are fed up with the rising levels of crime in Sutton and surrounding areas. Everyone should feel safe in their community and the best way to do that is to introduce a new police station in Sutton.
