🚨 IT’S TIME DARLINGTON RESIDENTS WERE HEARD!
Darlington Conservatives have surveyed thousands of residents, and the message is clear.
Anti-social behaviour, crime and the dangerous, illegal use of off-road bikes are serious concerns across our town.
Residents should be able to enjoy their homes, streets and communities without fear of intimidation, disruption or dangerous behaviour.
Perhaps most concerning is how many residents feel that, despite repeatedly raising these issues, little seems to change.
We believe it’s time to bring everyone together to find solutions.
That’s why we have invited our MPs, the Leader of Darlington Borough Council, the Chief Constable and the Police and Crime Commissioner to an open, non-political community forum.
🗣️ An opportunity for residents to speak directly to those responsible for keeping our communities safe.
We want to understand:
✅ What action is already being taken?
✅ What further steps can be taken to tackle ASB and illegal off-road bikes?
✅ How can we measure progress and ensure residents see real improvements?
This isn’t about politics, criticism or pointing fingers. It’s about listening, working together and finding practical solutions.
We recognise the challenges involved, but residents rightly expect action, accountability and results.
Everyone deserves to feel safe in their own community.
🤝 Let’s bring Darlington together, listen to residents and turn concerns into meaningful action.
