They don't concern themselves with crime anymore, they drive around in cars now and again looking for easy targets.... we know they still exist though, when US president flew into Stansted they were everywhere in cars and vans parked in every road.... its good to know they still protect the important people

@Me, they come from all across the county to support the scene guarding, they could be from Thurrock, Loughton, Braintree, Chelmsford to support such a big investigation.

I boggles my mind to see people angry at moaning at the police because there are “never any around”. Perhaps be angry at the people enforcing budget cuts, rather than those on the ground still trying to do their job!

Well all I can say is sort the potholes out in Harlow it’s the worst I’ve ever seen in my life a lot of people could or have been killed going down these potholes. I don’t know what’s happening to Harlow. I’ve never seen Harlow fall apart bad as it is now
