Councilor Joshua Bacon argues residents outside main towns pay council tax yet see no benefit, calling for wider patrols. Council leader Chris Read admits the team’s focus is on community-prioritized areas, but hints at future expansion if funding allows. So far, the team has carried out 50 enforcement actions, aided drug arrests, and escalated a domestic abuse case. The debate now centers on how to distribute resources more equitably across the whole region.
