Jan 14 2010 Chester Chronicle

POLICE in Neston are reaching out to the rural community, by taking their police station on the road.

Neston Neighbourhood Policing Team is running a mobile police station later this month to encourage residents of local villages to report crime, meet their local officers and have their say on local policing.

Sgt Henry Platten said: “We are looking forward to meeting residents and talking to them about any policing issues they have in the area.

“Having the mobile police station will give local officers a base to work from while in the community.

“It will also give residents who might not be able to get to their nearest police station a place to come and speak directly to the officers responsible for policing their neighbourhoods.

“The officers will offer advice on community safety and crime prevention, as well as gathering any information residents can provide to help us improve policing in their area.Š

“The mobile police stationŠwill be run on an informal 'drop-in' basis,Šbut appointments will be available to people whoŠwish to book a specific time by emailing or calling us.”

The mobile police station will be at the following locations:

Wednesday, January 20, between 9am and 2pm at Willaston British Legion

Tuesday, January 26, between 9am and 2pm at Ness Gardens

Wednesday, 7 January 27, between 9am and 2pm at Neston Cricket Club
