We don’t tolerate any forms of antisocial behaviour or crime and we consistently work with local communities and our partners, including the council and police, to protect residents.” And now police have responded by stating that combating anti-social behaviour in Crompton is a priority and residents may notice an increased police presence . Inspector Alan Potts of Greater Manchester Police s Bolton division said: We appreciate the concerns that our communities within Crompton have raised, and we understand how disruptive anti-social behaviour can be.
A FOUR-month-old baby boy from Iver had an incredible escape in 1986 when his mother’s car crashed on the M4, catapulting him out of the vehicle at 70-mph. Tiny Sam Morris was thrown out of the broken window during the impact and he bounced 30 yards across the motorway, down a 15-foot roadside embankment. His mother Gillian told the Observer: “After the crash, I looked round and saw Sam had gone from his carrycot, and I panicked, passers-by stopped and helped me from my car, all I could think of was “where’s my baby?” Amazingly little Sam had bounced nearly 50 feet, but only had a small cut on his head and a bruised knee, a police spokesperson told the Observer: “The little nipper is lucky to be alive, a miracle!”
