One time we could go about our daily business without fear, those days have gone now, when we start our day we never know what’s round the corner…
Stay in then and carry on complaining on here like you do every day lol
What is this beautiful island coming too getting more like mainland
The island is not exempt from crime and never has been! When I lived on the island 60;s70’s 80’s there were murders and car crime along with fights and muggings so its not right that people living in a different world make out that its all about mainlanders etc. Crime happens everywhere and you watch it sky rocket due to the covid debt !
No it’s not exempt never have been but crime is getting worse so if you you read my statement again I would say I will wait for apology but you can tell your ignorant so won’t expect ine
Sorry Old Bean I deal in facts and sense which clearly you dont! The whole world is a different place now and it will get worse and sadly so many people like yourself are stuck in the past! as for being ignorant please just read back to yourself what you have written and I am sure you will understand that the personn being ignorant is the person that doesnt accept the world in which we are all currently living in!!! and yes im now based in Essex and I have great memories of the island and I still visit but I managed to move away after uni and make my life elsewhere and I am glad to say I have retired at the great age of 53!
How is wanting a lower crime rate being ‘stuck in the past’? What a complete pillock.
Again with the “covid debt” nonsense
Which I should add that I can still afford to buy nice things, why should I care about people in debt?
Bing are you on your bong
No doubt the usual idiot will be on blaming this on mainlanders and houses not yet built. Just face it the island produces its fair share of idiots with no assistance from the mainland.
Ha ha love that your so right
The truth is we need more police, cut backs have made it like this and it has always been around yes 60s 70 80s etc but more people more crime I’m afraid that’s the way it is so we need more police out on patrol now simples
More bobbies on the beat, not sat outside maccers in cars. You need a police presents on the streets not driving alone back roads out Havenstreet. The police have forgotten how to police properly?♂️♂️
I’d love a present please officer
Always a collection of drunks around Esplanade area. The question is how do you keep them away, most are long term alcoholics who unfortunately either don’t want help or there is not enough help for them.
Soon they will be tagged as per recent news
It is getting serious here. We are the target of a trio of young people who throw heavy objects against the living room window, we live on the 1st floor. It has been going on for weeks, with periods when they don’t come. we live in a residence for people over 55 years old. They live in the neighborhood, that’s for sure. The manager notified the police and an agent came to our house. He promised to walk around and fix a camera outside, near the window. They are 3 pre-adolescent boys. And we are insulted, because of course, we do not sit idly by. Each time I am terrified, I get hold of myself so much, yesterday it was 10pm, and at least 10 projectiles landed on the lawn at the bottom of the building. What to do ?!
Were the three of them riding small off road motorbikes by any chance? They ride all over the Pig Leg Lane area in Ryde at high speed, swearing at local drivers.
No, i think that they are younger, they get around by bicycle or on foot. We live near Binstead Hill, on the corner there is a playground in front of our building.
These will be days to hark back to when inner city overspill fills all the new building at Ryde, as our council will receive payment to take on others problem and overspill tenants. As many of such are from all corners of the globe, then expect the type and amount of crime which does not just ‘coincidently’ follow them everywhere they choose to live.
Wait and ‘see’ who is right. But to late is too late.
An outbreak of disorder? Better self isolate
