Levelling up: The seaside town fighting violence and frustration

The north Wales seaside town of Rhyl is one of the most violent and deprived areas in England and Wales. The number of serious offences went up every year for four years until the first coronavirus lockdown, BBC research has found.

A group of partygoers from Yorkshire amble by in fancy dress. Batman nips into a kebab shop on Water Street, while the Joker and the Penguin wait outside. Not all forces are as rigorous as North Wales Police in recording crime but that should not disguise the worrying upward trajectory."I think Rhyl is at a bit of a crossroads at the moment," says Insp Jason Davies."I knew I was going to have to roll my sleeves up here... but it's something that I'm personally vested in and passionate to improve the situation.

Some of the people we met in Rhyl had never heard of levelling up but Insp Davies is clear it should mean investing money "to tackle the underlying causes of crime".Across town, Natasha Harper is fielding calls at the Good News Mission, a thriving community hub in a former church. "There were beatings, theft of jewellery to sell for drink, lots of emotional abuse, broken bones, cuts," she says.

“Levelling up” Soundbite shite.

this is the policy-hostile environment. So no win here as well.

The Council has the towns and other such funds. What are they doing with it?

Boris’s government and levelling up? Don’t make me laugh

Continue to do. I think this is where we should emulate Britain. Britain, be a brilliant. Amen

Britain is a fair country. After acknowledging and understanding Britain's own past mistakes, Britain accepts many people from neighboring countries such as India, lives with them, and strives to move forward 'with pain'.

Levelling up is a fantasy - not something to base a news story on.
