Oh my word I take it these will detect & deter if anyone is carrying knifes. Do you really think for one minute if they are they will walk through the Arch!!! What ever next...one arch two policeman, wow kids & young adolescence are obviously brighter than the force are right now....hope you have these arches & two police officers all over every entrance of every corner, turn & entrance's in Harlow!!!!! REALLY. Knifes are obviously still being able to obtain whether that be on line in the shops or even from their own houses in which they live. I really can't understand the way of life the way things are right now....there is no where you can go & feel safe anymore, what a cruel mixed up world we live in & it just seems to get worse everyday with something or other.

I expect people will be invited to pass through, a bit suspicious if they refuse. Country's gone to pot.

Knife crime is everywhere, it’s a trend . Plough the money into educating the kids of the consequences and curfews at night . Stronger penalties, national service and boot camps .Problem solved.
