Where have the local police gone. I used to see them around town in their high vis but Lewes seems to be awash with druggies and scruffy oiks these days with not a copper in sight.

They are either on leave, on a course, or off sick. It�s one of the perks of the job.

Lewes is a low crime area. As a result of the cuts the police are concentrating their resources in high crime areas.

So Feline, you're saying that Lewes District police are not going to be in Lewes?

There�s only 2 cops dedicated to Lewes district at any one time except for a special event. Thanks Maria, Theresa, Katy et al!

It never seemed to make sense to me to have police just walking the street. Policemen and women are expensive items. Sounds like their time could be better spent tackling internet crime.

We don't need Police, we don't need street lighting at night, we don't need the grass verges cut, we don't need the Tourist Information office open at weekends, when the tourists come, anything else we don't need ? Cos I'm not sure why our council tax is in the top ten most expensive in the Country !!

People moan about not seeing police patrolling the streets on foot, but they also moan if they have to wait a long time for an officer to turn up because they're all patrolling on foot ...

Unholy trinity - spot on the 3 tier council structure in East Sussex is costing us - scrap a tier but please don�t let ESCC run a unitary county - too much of an old boys club running it with a nasty Tory Administration that are too busy lining their own pockets and are too remote from the public they are supposed to serve but are failing miserably
