You Could Not Make It Up!

If you lived in Wigan, which would you prefer to have - one new Reassurance Officer or two additional binmen?
Kate Watts has been appointed - obviously not to the bins that would perhaps be seen as cherrypicking - No! She is the new Reassurance Officer who promises to be "Tough on the fear of crime and tough on the causes of fear of crime."
AAAAAgh!
