The decision was made in response to concerns raised by local residents about youths gathering outside the pub and local shops.

The Fir Tree pub where Rhys was gunned down stands next to a collection of shops and a car park that is notorious for attracting gangs of youths, say local residents.

"There is a real problem with anti-social behaviour," said a local woman who did not want to be identified.

"Close to where Rhys was killed, near the shops, they sell drugs and have guns.

"There aren't enough police on the streets. You never see them round here until something bad happens and by then it's too late."

The landlord of the Fir Tree pub, who did not want to be named, said that parishioners from St Cuthbert's Church and local residents had asked the council and police to help install CCTV in the area but had been turned down on grounds of costs.
Thats pathetic how can you put a price on someones life, another reason why I hate the government is because they dont actually care about what goes on on the streets, you could so easily cut down on gun crime like hiring more police or obviously having armed police in places like liverpool where there is guncrime and done hesitate to shoot to kill after all its you or them and random searches etc.. the government only cares about money.
