Knife Crime Action Plan

New plans to tackle the growing problem of knife crime in Cheshire have today been published by the Conservatives.  The plans consist of long-term measures to deal with the causes of crime, tough policing to catch those who carry and use knives, robust sentencing and a system of rehabilitating young offenders to stop them committing knife and other crimes in the future.

Cllr Graham Evans said: “Carrying a knife is too much of a norm today.  Teenagers in particular see the use of knives as glamorous.  It’s not.  We need much tougher action against people who are guilty of knife crime and that means a prison sentence.”
