CHESHIRE’S chief constable and police and crime commissioner will be travelling to Ellesmere Port, giving local people the chance to talk to them about local policing.

PCC David Keane and CC Darren Martland will be hosting a series of question time style events in community venues over the next few months.

Police leaders will hold an event in each of Cheshire’s local policing units on Thursday evenings, with the first event taking place in Ellesmere Port on November 7.

PCC David Keane said: “The relationship between police and the public has always been vital and no more so than now when resources are stretched and the workload has grown exponentially.

“As your elected representative for policing I want to ensure that our police service is accountable, visible and is delivering your priorities.

“This is your chance to meet with us and talk to us about key issues in your community and tell us if your local area is being policed effectively.”

CC Darren Martland added: “Cheshire remains one of the safest places in the country to live, work and visit. This is thanks to the strong relationships our officers and police staff have forged with our communities to ensure that crime and anti-social behaviour is dealt with effectively.

“We rely on the public to identify any issues going on in their area and report problems such as dangerous driving, anti-social behaviour and drug dealers.

“These events provide an opportunity for local residents to share their views and opinions on policing in Cheshire and will help shape our priorities going forward.”

  • The first event will be held at Ellesmere Port on Thursday, November 7 at 7pm at Trinity Methodist Church. Further meetings will be held around the county on future weeks, inclouding in Chester.
