We've seen the ugly side of the community lately with the ram raids and shootings and burglaries galore.
But here is an example of the good side.
Doug Jarvis is a butcher and has been for 44 years - his stores had been frequently targeted in burglaries recently and as a result he was due to close one of them because of the effects it was having on his blood pressure.

Doug Jarvis joined Mike Hosking.
