Operation Street Cred

HC Deb 20 January 2003 vol 398 cc188-9W

Mr. Ben Chapman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what his assessment is of Operation Street Cred on the Wirral.[90897]

Mr. Denham

Further to my answer to my hon. Friend of 19 September 2002, I am advised by Merseyside Police that a formal review of Operation Street Cred will be undertaken shortly. I understand that local feedback from the public has been positive and Merseyside Police believe Operation Street Cred has contributed to a significant decrease in reported youth disorder since its introduction in June 2002.
