“People need to feel safe”: Torsten backs anti-crime Bill - Make it stand out As a Swansea MP, I get to see the best of our community every week. But I also see the worst – often at the same time. Last week, I visited Burlais Primary School. Under the dedicated leadership of headteacher Mark Thompson, the staff work tirelessly to create a safe and nurturing environment for pupils. But children at Burlais are being let down. Not by the school. By hooligans who seem to think neighbouring Cwmbwrla Park is a race track. Twice now, the park’s football pitches have been vandalised – first by quad bikes, now by cars. Twice, the children have written powerful letters to those responsible asking for the playing fields they use for sports days and football matches to be respected. It’s a heartbreakingly simple ask. From senseless vandalism in Cwmbwrla Park to disgracefully common shop lifting, we’re facing some serious issues when it comes to anti-social behaviour and crime. Research by the Association of Convenience Stores has found that the average business is being forced to spend over £5,000 per store on anti-crime measures. That’s £5,000 that could go toward improving the store, hiring staff or cutting prices, being wasted keeping thieves at bay. We need people to feel safe in their parks and shops - whether they’re shopping or working there. According to Usdaw, the trade union for shop workers, one in ten workers have been physically assaulted by customers. No one should have to put up with that in their workplace. We’ve got to put a stop to this epidemic of bad behaviour. That's why I'm supporting new legislation making its way through Parliament right now, to give police and communities stronger protections. One of the most important changes in the Bill is ending the effective immunity for shoplifting. It’s been far too easy for people to walk away with stolen goods without consequences. In the two years before the general election, shoplifting rose by more than 60% and snatch theft soared. That is the Tories’ disastrous legacy and it’s places like Swansea which have paid the price. That’s not all. The legislation will also introduce a new sanction, Respect Orders, to tackle the very worst perpetrators of anti-social behaviour. And we’re making it easier for South Wales Police to seize vehicles such as off-road bikes being used antisocially. It’s time to put an end to a handful of people thinking they can treat our shops and parks as playgrounds for their anti-social behaviour. In the days ahead, I’ll be monitoring the situation in Cwmbwrla Park closely and will remain in touch with our local community support officers. I would urge anyone with information about the vandalism to get in touch with the police by dialling 101. Let’s work together to protect the best of Swansea from the worst behaviour of a small minority of mindless vandals and thieves. https://www.torstenbell.org/news/transformational-torsten-opens-kingsway-redevelopment monthly 0.5 2025-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/673dac3bb3d20b4a422f3c91/7f6ae754-186e-41e0-8676-9970592592db/kingsway.jpg News - “Transformational”: Torsten opens Kingsway redevelopment - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.torstenbell.org/news/torsten-slams-shoplift-tax-on-swansea-businesses monthly 0.5 2025-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/673dac3bb3d20b4a422f3c91/616ca8f6-8b78-433c-8745-07af938c634d/Screenshot+2025-02-20+100108.png News - Torsten slams ‘shoplift tax’ on Swansea businesses - Make it stand out Photograph: Linda Nylind/The Guardian https://www.torstenbell.org/news/assisted-dying-meetings monthly 0.5 2025-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/673dac3bb3d20b4a422f3c91/913f6beb-3b57-46be-8619-8c4870713ddf/Screenshot+2025-02-21+120220.png News - Public Meeting on Assisted Dying - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.torstenbell.org/news/swansea-mp-first-minister-half-a-century monthly 0.5 2025-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/673dac3bb3d20b4a422f3c91/bc224276-821c-4e5e-9a07-5c3dace53325/TB+RR.jpg News - Swansea celebrates first MP to become a Government Minister in half a century.  - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.torstenbell.org/news/blog-post-title-two-p7sb4 monthly 0.5 2025-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/673dac3bb3d20b4a422f3c91/be24d692-2ff3-455b-bffb-a1921dacaae3/TB+FirstPort.jpeg News - Torsten demands housing boss clean up 'shoddy’ service to local people - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.torstenbell.org/news/torsten-delivers-vital-support-to-vulnerable-swansea-families-at-christmas monthly 0.5 2025-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/673dac3bb3d20b4a422f3c91/064c997a-2484-429d-8779-a4fb871213f0/TB+XMAS.jpg News - Torsten delivers vital support to vulnerable Swansea families at Christmas - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.torstenbell.org/news/new-morriston-banking-hub-opened-by-swansea-mp monthly 0.5 2025-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/673dac3bb3d20b4a422f3c91/06901db6-9b46-40ef-b1f5-a96640e647ed/473281751_122169694784354605_5399107409888179075_n.jpg News - Torsten opens new banking hub in Morriston - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.torstenbell.org/news/i-will-give-my-all-to-this-tasknbspnbspnew-mp-uses-first-speech-in-parliament-to-pledge-bright-future-for-swansea monthly 0.5 2025-02-27 https://www.torstenbell.org/news/weve-been-failed-torsten-stands-up-for-swansea-on-channel-4-podcast monthly 0.5 2025-02-27 https://www.torstenbell.org/news/delivering-for-swansea-starts-now-torsten-is-sworn-in-as-mp monthly 0.5 2025-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/673dac3bb3d20b4a422f3c91/17d76100-1945-4598-b2b4-b5474696f251/53857027227_7b6672f32b_c.jpg News - “Delivering for Swansea starts now.” Torsten is sworn-in as MP - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.torstenbell.org/news/gnumhj0suwkvq7cx893i6jag3rsrqa monthly 0.5 2025-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/673dac3bb3d20b4a422f3c91/3d1f461e-0bf4-4048-a254-f0ac3a9a7202/TB+1st+day.jpg News - Torsten thanks voters on first day in Parliament as Swansea MP - A message from Torsten: I headed into Parliament to start a new life as your MP today, standing up for Swansea West and playing my small part in delivering the badly needed change a Labour Government will bring. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone in Swansea who put their trust in me and the Labour Party. We understand how important that trust is and we will not let you down. And whoever you voted for in this election, I will work to be your representative, your voice in the years ahead. During the election I promised to focus on the bread and butter issues that matter to people – better jobs, investment in our green energy potential, and decent public transport. I’ve already started work, for example meeting those providing our bus and train services, and will focus every day on delivering for our city. Swansea West voted for change and put its faith in Labour. We will repay your trust.
