Selsey, with its thriving population, has unfortunately turned into a hotspot for criminal activities due to the absence of a police presence in our community. An alarming increase in crimes committed by both adults and children is evident; these individuals act with impunity, believing they won't face repercussions. It is disheartening to see the same offenders repeatedly disregarding the law, affecting the safety and peace of our vibrant community.

Local residents, overwhelmed and frustrated, find themselves in the unenviable position of gathering evidence and reporting crimes to the Chichester police, who are miles away and unable to address issues immediately. Selsey is not a sleepy country village - we are a dynamic and large community that deserves proper and proximate law enforcement to ensure our safety.

The reinstatement of the Selsey Police Station would serve as a deterrent to crime, providing the much-needed assurance that law and order will prevail. A constant police presence right in our town would act as a foundation for building trust and safety within the community, letting residents know that their security is a priority.

Statistics indicate that areas with a dedicated police force see a reduction in crime rates, with a corresponding increase in community satisfaction and well-being. By bringing back our police station and ensuring a continuous police presence, we will not only prevent crime but also foster a sense of safety and protection among Selsey residents.

Join us in our campaign to bring back Selsey’s police station and restore law and order to our town. Every signature counts in making our voices stronger and instigating the change we need. Please sign this petition and help us make Selsey safe again.
