Lib Dems get tough on crime

Liberal Democrats on Cardiff Council are proposing a major investment in measures to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.
Lib Dem councillor, Francesca Montemaggi, said: "In our draft budget for next year, we have prioritised measures to tackle crime by investing in the following:
- 101 service (following the axing of the Home Office funding);
- a graffiti busting squad;
- a new 24 hour/seven day a week noise nuisance team;
- a flyposting team;
- more staff to deal with antisocial behaviour in our parks;
- a warden to deal with stray horses.

Graffiti and fly-posting really bring the area down. We don't just 'talk tough' on crime, we act on it and put the money to tackle it."
