Dear editor,
I write regarding your article of 13 May.
Read: Two arrested and knives recovered following mass affray in broad daylight in Bedford Park
It is so sad to see this national blight on our youth being played out so viscerally on Bedford streets. I work actively in the youth support arena, locally most commonly with the Blues Foundation.
We have recently been presenting debates on knife crime and how to combat it. This work has been supported by the Conservative Prospective Party candidate for Bedford & Kempston, Cllr Pinder Chauhan.
Cllr Chauhan has joined in the discussions and is arranging for us to do further presentations through local education establishments.
We have had very positive feedback from the young people attending these debates, so if there are any youth leaders that would like to consider these, please contact either myself or Pinder direct via pete@henrickson-bedford.co.uk or pinder@pinderchauhan.org.uk.
