We believe there is very little legitimate reason to carry a knife in any public place or on the streets of Doncaster.
The Laws already exist to ban knives of certain types and lengths for example, but we think as a matter of common sense, common safety and decency; -
We see no reasonable or appropriate argument for carrying any knife in a public area.
It is in the power of our local elected Councillors' to create a reasonable and well-constructed Bye-Law.
We therefore respectfully call on our Mayor and elected Councillors', to vote in favour of creating a legal Bye-Law, banning the carrying of ANY knife, in public, in any part of the Borough of Doncaster.
Let Common Sense Prevail!

My son is terrified to go to the park because of these thugs. Do something about it now.
This is Doncaster not the wild west. Absolutely ridiculous that we even need to ask for this.
Bout bloody time someone stood up to this nonsense. Ban the lot of them.
Common sense. If you arent at work or using it for a hobby you have no reason to be walking around with a knife.
