§ Mr. Ben ChapmanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what his assessment is of Operation Street Cred on the Wirral.[90897]
§ Mr. DenhamFurther to my answer to my hon. Friend of 19 September 2002, I am advised by Merseyside Police that a formal review of Operation 189W 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.
