I agree David

This is a case where we would expect to see some direct action. But it does NOT happen. I think we as residents feel a little helpless in cases such as this because we cannot be directly involved. I think what we CAN do is to contact our local Councillors because this kind of behavior cannot be overlooked. As the author of the post points out, this is " sickening".
Direct action needs to be taken and I can see no other way than through our ward councillors approaching WMBC.
Trouble in Ashton town centre is happening all the time. The cameras are a waste of police and the police are a waste cameras.

From the GMP website:

"Three arrested after ambulance crew threatened (Wigan)


Police investigating after an ambulance crew was threatened in Ashton-in-Makerfield while attending an emergency have arrested three men.

The three men, aged 25, 22, and 21, all from Newton-le-Willows, were arrested on suspicion of affray and have been released on police bail until 10 August 2007 pending further inquiries.

The arrests follow an incident at about 7.45pm on Thursday 19 July 2007, where an ambulance crew were threatened on Council Avenue in Ashton-in-Makerfield."
