PC Les Bullion spoke about how much the Cookham Youth Project had reduced petty crime and anti-social behaviour in Cookham. He said that since the introduction of the Youth project this sort of crime in the Cookham area had been reduced by 80%, thus making Cookham one of the safest places to live in, in the Thames Valley area. He said that most police would give their eye teeth to be able to work in such here.
