Extra city council about (in)security in Wervik

Residents also feel unsafe in the vicinity of the station, it sounds. The opposition therefore wants more police on the streets. Mayor Youro Casier said earlier that he first wants to wait for the crime figures before taking measures.

The opposition also suggests that Wervik should move from police zone Arro Ypres to Grensleie. The current mayor already suggested that idea in 2006, but he is now abandoning it. Moreover, an earlier survey showed that the Wervik police are not in favor of that idea either.

The chief of police of Arro Ypres was present at the extra city council.
