RESIDENTS are being encouraged to meet their local neighbourhood policing team at two upcoming police surgeries later this month.

The Ashburton and Chudleigh Neighbourhood Policing Team will be holding drop-in sessions on Monday, August 17, from 11am at Ashburton Information Centre and on Wednesday, August 19, from 2pm at Christow Community Shop.

The surgeries offer an opportunity for residents to raise concerns, discuss local issues with officers and find out more about the work being carried out to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour in the area.

Residents are also encouraged to complete the local priority survey to help police identify the issues that matter most to their communities.
