YEOVIL NEWS: Have YOUR say on local policing

PEOPLE in Yeovil and South Somerset are to be given their chance to have their say on local policing and what they think should be priorities for the bobbies on the beat.

The Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens will be holding her next Public Forum on Thursday, September 17, 2015, in Yeovil and wants people to come and have their say.

People are being invited to the event, taking place at Westland Leisure Complex in Yeovil between 7pm and 9pm, and will include an introduction by the PCC, an overview of local policing and a question and answer session.

Communities across South Somerset are being encouraged to attend the event, to not only find out more about policing in their area but to also share their experiences, views and feedback with the PCC and Somerset’s Area Commander.

Ms Mountstevens said: “It will be great to be back in Yeovil and I am intrigued to hear from the local people of South Somerset as to what their thoughts are on neighbourhood policing in the area.

“At the last South Somerset forum in Chard, questions were raised around anti-social behaviour, Community SpeedWatch and local police meetings. I hope residents will once again take the time to come along and put their questions to us.”

Area Commander for Somerset, Chief Superintendent Ian Wylie said: “I’d like to encourage as many local residents as possible to come along, as this is a good opportunity for the public to tell us what matters to you and to help shape policing in your area.

“I’d like to know what you believe we do well and what we can do better for our communities so we can respond accordingly and provide the best service possible, which the public both expect and deserve.”

If you would like to attend the forum please email pcc@avonandsomerset.pnn.police.uk or call 01275-816377.

If anyone has questions they would like to ask then can also email them in advance. This is recommended if people have a question that might need some research.
