Norfolk police's new “Safer Neighbourhoods” scheme will have a dedicated team of officers talking to local people about local problems and then working with the community to do something about them. Diss is a priority area for this scheme, which will start rolling out over the next few weeks.
This scheme won't work without support from residents. The police often know exactly who is responsible for anti-social behaviour but until it is reported and witnesses come forward, they can't do anything about it. The people causing trouble in Diss rely on making people too frightened to do anything to stop them.
We can't let them win, and the police need our help to keep the town safe. Come on, Diss!
Following a splendid parade by our local veterans and many youth groups along Mere Street, there was a moving service of remembrance at St Mary's Church.
This year was record-breaking for the number of poppies bought and it is good to see support for the poppy appeal growing.
By wearing a poppy, we show we have not forgotten that we owe our very freedom to the brave young men and women who fought and died to preserve it. Wearing a poppy is the very least we can do to honour the sacrifices which were made for us.
We will remember them.
