Last night I attended the Wantage and Grove Street Pastors First Birthday celebration at Wantage Parish Church. There was a large crowd there all keen to share what has been a hugely successful year for the community. Reverend Les Isaac, founder and director of the Ascension Trust gave us all a rousing address - he was the catalyst for the whole movement which began in East London and has been rolling out all over the country.
The Mayor, Chairman of Grove Parish Council, Thames Valley Police and many others were all there to give our support to the many volunteers who patrol our streets regularly on Friday nights. Crime figures we hear are very low in the Vale and we believe it is testimony to the fact that we are actively reducing crime in some areas due to this initiative. Long may the good work continue!
