The quickest way to get things done is to contact both your federal and local politicians and let them know that unless they do something, and do it quickly, then you will not be voting for them in the next election.
There is nothing a politician hates more than loosing votes, especially in the local area where things can get quite close. I have done it on a couple of occasions and been pleasantly surprised with the results that I have achieved. It doesn’t matter what
side of politics you support you don’t have to let them know. Perhaps a concerted effort by COG members with everyone writing to their local member will get results. It is worth a try.
And yes, I did get the reply that I expected to get from my earlier email. I think Sandra summed up the police reaction quite well – basically they don’t care even when I have reported illegal activity to them
in the past. I have been asked “what do you expect us to do?”. My usual reply is “your job”!

Better security like that, would be a great idea. There is a slight problem though. These things cost money and in order for the government to justify it, there
needs to be a heightened need, in comparison with everything else they do. Such as better security around campuses at night. A heightened need would only arise from increased numbers of adverse incidents........ We don’t want that at JW. Perhaps ask police
to include random visits to the site in their travels.

Thanks for the head up. Time for the JWNR Trust to install some security cameras?
