Helen Morgan reacts to rural crime report
1 Aug 2023
North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan has issued her verdict on the NFU Mutual’s 2023 Rural Crime Report.
Helen Morgan MP said, “The cost of rural crime to Shropshire has more than doubled in the past year, now rising to £2 million.
“People often think of crime, especially petty crime, as an urban issue – but out here in North Shropshire it is prevalent in a different form.
“The constant rise in crime that our communities have to put up with is just not good enough. The Police Commissioner has to take serious action to combat the damage being done to our farming and agricultural communities, as well as all those who live in the countryside.”
