RESIDENTS are being encouraged to meet their local neighbourhood policing team and discuss the issues affecting their communities.

Officers from the Teignmouth and Dawlish Rural Neighbourhood Policing Team will be available at the Woodshed Café near Stokeinteignhead on Thursday, July 23, from 10.30am to 11.30am, giving people the opportunity to raise concerns, ask questions and hear about the work being carried out to tackle local priorities.

The event forms part of the team's regular Police and Communities Together (PACT) meetings, which are designed to strengthen links between officers and the public while ensuring local policing priorities reflect the concerns of residents.

Everyone is welcome to attend, and officers are looking forward to meeting members of the community.
