WE moved to Malvern five years ago because we felt it a safer area to live in rather than Worcester, which on the whole it is.

We were amused to read in the Malvern Gazette (March 15) that the Malvern area is one of the most "Crime free in the UK".

We live in the Link Top area and know for a fact and from personal experience that many crimes do not get reported because we know nothing will be done.

Our own house has been stoned from Worcester Road and also beer glasses thrown over, together with close neighbours regularly suffering weekly vandalism to their cars.

Some offences are very occasionally reported but more often not.

Shops on Link Top suffer broken windows on a regular basis at much inconvenience and great cost.

It would be reassuring to have a response to these almost weekly problems and CCTV at the Link Top would be VERY WELCOME.
