Would you welcome a larger sort of police presence in the city centre then?
00:03
Yes I would, definitely.
00:04
And would that make you sort of feel safer as you sort of go about?
00:08
Yes it would.
00:08
And would you be willing to possibly pay more tax in order to see that or?
00:13
No.
00:16
Yeah so would you would you welcome sort of a larger sort of police presence in around the
00:22
city centre?
00:23
Yes I mean I could go back a long way to the 1960s when we used to have about 20 officers
00:29
working the town centre and that was a very good preventative measure.
00:34
It stopped all the yobs and all the rest of it carrying on the disorder.
00:37
I'd welcome that back.
00:40
Of course it's funding but you know they've got to put the resources where they reassure
00:45
the public.
00:46
So would you be willing to sort of potentially pay more in tax say to see that to see that
00:51
happen?
00:52
Yes.
00:52
And would it make you feel sort of safer as you go about your sort of daily business?
00:56
We don't come to Leeds a lot because of the safety issue.
00:59
Now we're getting older it's sort of a big decision.
01:03
That's why we come at lunchtime.
01:04
We wouldn't come in an evening because you don't see any police.
