Its the turn of LS9 tonight.The neighbourhood police inspector thinks people grieving for their loved ones in Becket St cemetery will be disturbed by the druggies and boozers,no one has been buried there for donkeys yonks.I've never seen any flowers on graves.Brussels Street - 18 crimes in 4 weeks !Does anybody live there ?This probably the fallout from the night club and the 'patrons'of the St. Anns centre.

Can't hrlp thinking the YEP are simply jumping onto the nationally available crime maps and adding a little something by pulling off simple satistics for one area of the city each night to attract interest with nothing much of a story.Thought we already had this in a thread but don't see it - you can have a look at your area of interest here -http://www.police.uk/

Just read through the article a second time.LS9 post code includes part of Temple Newsam - LS9 ends through Selby Road Rail Bridge by the Dunhills/Whitebrdge,hardly Temple Newsam.Report on Seacroft includes -for the sprawling estate whose centre was opened by the Queen in 1966.Its being knocked down and rebuilt since Lizzie was last here.It is so common for these 'reporters' to quote locations in the wrong area.Must try harder Ms Bellamy or at least get out of the office more and find out the true facts.

The whole series has been a shoddy set of articles, not just the lack of local knowledge but the findings as well.Crime is high in parts of East End Park and parts of Seacroft (for example)? Well, who'd have thought that? I didn't need an expensive government survey and website to tell me that.I'm struggling to see the point of the whole exercise, unless it's to ensure that granny doesn't sleep quite so safely in her bed tonight....    

I think it's the fact that the information is available to the police in more or less the same format, and in the interests of keeping the public informed its out there in the public domain. As for the YEP article, it's a bit of a waste of time I think...
