Byline: HAYLEY CUTHBERTSON
IN 1998 community leaders drew up a five-year blue print to improve life in Coventry. They set targets to create jobs, cut crime, reduce poverty, enhance city nightlife, give more opportunities to school-leavers, and get a better deal for older poeple. In the second article of our week-long series on how the city is faring so far, HAYLEY CUTHBERTSON asks whether the crime objectives are being met.
THE 'half-term report' on reducing crime in Coventry suggests that police are failing to meet some of the targets set out by the plan.
