There are a lot of gun crimes and violence taking place in MP John Cannis' constituency. First it was graffiti, then violent robberies and now gun crime. Don't our elected officials have any plans to keep us safe. Don't MPs care about the people they are supposed to represent? How can we as citizens let our MPs know what we care about when they have no time for us?
