Thank you to everyone who has signed so far.

Reaching 50 signatures matters because it shows something important:

people are willing to put their name to this, not just agree quietly.

But 50 is only the start.

Decision-makers do not act on agreement in comments.

They act when they see clear, visible public backing.

Right now, many residents feel the same concerns but have not seen this petition yet. Others are hesitant to click links or speak publicly. That is exactly why sharing matters.

If you support this petition, the most helpful thing you can do now is share it.

Not to persuade.

Not to argue.

Simply to let others read it and decide for themselves.

You can help by:

• Sharing the petition with friends or family

• Posting it in local community groups

• Sending it privately to someone who has mentioned feeling unsafe

• Reassuring people they can read it without signing if they prefer

This petition is not about politics or sides.

It is about recognising that residents want engagement, oversight and reassurance, not silence or shutdown.

Every share makes it harder for this to be ignored.

Every signature strengthens the message that local voices matter.

If you believe Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole deserve safer streets and honest conversation, please share this now.

Thank you for standing up, and please help us reach the next milestone.
