A RESIDENT has blasted the Home Office for failing to reply to a letter she sent about the high level of crime in Gerrards Cross.
In a letter to the Bucks Free Press Midweek, Caroline Strafford, a Conservative member, of Fulmer Road, Gerrards Cross, said she wrote to Jack Straw in February outlining her fears after two raids in at the HSBC Bank in Packhorse Road.
She said: "In Gerrards Cross we seem to be targeted for burglaries and car thefts and we have had a lot of break-ins in the shops. It does not seem to matter what we say nothing happens."
Alan Sealy, who is campaigning for CCTV in Gerrards Cross, said: "We need community policing and CCTV. This is a community problem."
A Home Office spokesman said on Wednesday they replied earlier to Dominic Grieve, who is seeking re-election as Beaconsfield's MP, as Mrs Strafford had first contacted him.
