ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

Hindpool.org.uk is a non-commercial community related website which uses photographs to highlight the year-in and year-out vandalism allowed to proliferate in the Hindpool area.

For the scope of this website we give the word 'vandalism' a very wide definition to include all acts or omissions, regardless of legality, by any persons whosoever, which in our opinion have a damaging impact upon the livability or appearance of Hindpool's urban environment.

The primary aim of this website is to present the layman's view on environmental matters effecting Hindpool. All stated views are the subjective personal opinions of individual Hindpool residents having no specialised knowledge in civil construction, building construction, laws, regulations, or any other specialism. Our right to voice our opinions and our concerns is based on our local residence.

One intention of the website is to jolt the vandals out of their complacency. They know who they are. The worst ones hide in Barrow Town Hall, while the police and wardens turn a blind eye as they witness motoring and environmental offences we consider they wouldn't tolerate in their own neighbourhoods.

Of course we don't dislike these people, we recognise that they themselves are victims of an inherited work culture. By highlighting environmental matters this website strives to bring people on-board so that they realise the folly of keeping Hindpool's environmental issues in the dark-ages.

Website content may at times focus on our perception that the police in Barrow have a particularly nasty negative policy which damages Hindpool's environment. We believe they purposely downgrade their patrols in areas which they know to be most in need of a police presence, to instead unecessarily waste their time patrolling low-crime leafy-suburb neighbourhoods were the more vocal residents selfishly manipulate the system by crying for stronger policing in their area. There is imbalance between neighbourhood crime rates to start with and this police policy, which panders to the selfish, obviously makes the imbalance worse. Any right-thinking person would want to see such a barmy policing policy scrapped, and replaced with police resource targeting based on 'real' incident statistics.

Will's Comment

Institutionalised damage to Hindpool is so ingrained within the work culture of Barrow Council that they need a major policy change to sort out the mess they've caused.

Jackie Says

The Local Policing Plan must have regard to the views of local communities. To this end the Local Policing Plan should not give the leafy suburbs an unjustified over-the-top police presence, but should instead include an initiative to remind those local communities of the 'real' statistics, which show their constant cry of deep concern about their neighbourhood crime to be unbalanced and illogical.
