Acting Sergeant Ebeling paints a reassuring picture of Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) working in North Laine (Letters, August 2).
If only it was true. Many residents have complained to me they have never seen them.
The reality is we have drug takers, drunks, vandals, graffiti and unsocial noise at nights. We would love to see PCSOs making an impact on these continuing problems.
It's not words we want, Sergeant Ebeling, it's effective policing on a daily basis.
-John Pearce, North Laine Representative
