Where are our riches going?

As few as four police officers are on duty in Manchester city centre after 04:00 at weekends, the local police federation has said.

Chairman Ian Hanson said police do not have "sufficient resources to guarantee people's safety" as a result.

Around 250,000 people visit the city on Friday and Saturday nights and Mr Hanson said police needed a "visible presence", which could not be achieved.

Councillor Pat Karney said Mr Hanson had "grossly exaggerated" the problem.


We're a bit old-fashioned in that we think we should have a publicly-funded police force”

He said that last Friday and Saturday, officers arrested 54 people and dealt with 67 incidents.
