Conor McGinn MP Member of Parliament for St Helens North
After the shocking recent stabbings in Parr and Haydock, I welcome Merseyside Police action this week to publicly demonstrate the work it is doing to tackle knife crime and to ask for your help in sharing important messages and having conversations with those most at risk.
During this week you may see the police carrying out stop searches, open land searches and weapon sweeps. High visibility patrols will be using knife arches or wands at key times in busy locations and officers will link in with door-staff and licensed premises.
Our community in St Helens is clear: “No More Knives”.
