Green Party Positions on Crime

Plans drawn up by Norwich Green Party to fight crime include more bobbies on the beat and housing schemes designed to bring communities together.

Norwich is a good example of a local party that campaigns and campaigns and doorknocks and doorknocks and wins people over to Green positions. All of a sudden, they have nine councillors!

The Greens promise to lobby for more police on foot and on bikes, with a permanent bike-based police unit in Norwich, and pledge to use planning policy to promote co-housing schemes to enhance social interaction and cohesion and cut crime. They will also call for a review of late licences granted to pubs and clubs, and if necessary, 'zoning' to remove late licences altogether from areas where anti-social behaviour is resulting from boozing late into the night. Greens will also monitor conditions inside Norwich prison to ensure prisoners are treated humanely and are being actively rehabilitated.
