There is other work local authorities do which impacts positively on the area of crime prevention and they could be involved in more work in that area. For example, they look after the areas of estate management, housing, facilities for the homeless, design of local authority estates, public lighting and park rangers. Due to the cutbacks, local authorities do not have the funding to provide the required standard of park ranger services, for example. There are very few parks in my community where there are park rangers on duty. People are afraid to use those parks at night and crime takes place in them.
