BERESFIELD BUSINESS OWNERS FED UP

Beresfield residents say they’re being left with no other option than to patrol the streets themselves, because of police inaction.
Business owners have been frustrated by constant vandalism, and claim the suburb has been put in the too-hard basket.
I have young children and the lack of security in Beresfield is of great concern. I also have had thoughts of opening my own business, but would not put my business in this town. The down town abbanoned shops look like something you would see down town slumville , such an eye sore. I have experinced in the past a domestic situation with a friend of mine, I went to the police station, but no-one answered the door. Luckily my friends experience didnt get worse and her parther calmed down. For a such a fast growing area its wrong there are no police available for us to call on in times of need. Good on you Meg & vince for standing up, hope they listen to your request. Leanne
