‘See Something Say Something’ text on 83010
Roger is supporting the ‘See Something Say Something’ initiative launched by National Express in an attempt to cut down on the vandalism of buses and bus shelters in Birmingham which it is estimated is costing local business, council tax payers and police over a million pounds a year.
Roger said: “A small minority of mindless vandals are damaging the vehicles that hundreds of thousands of local residents rely on. Like the vast majority of people in Birmingham I want these vandals to pay for the damage they have caused and I want repeat offenders to face the toughest possible sentences.
He continued: “In addition to the cost, this crime has given a bad image of our city to our millions of visitors.”
The campaign calls on bus users to join in the fight against this small minority of vandals by texting the completely anonymous ‘See Something Say Something’ initiative on 83010. Just text the details including time, date, location and route number when you see an incident of vandalism on the city’s buses.
