CHESHIRE'S chief constable and police and crime commissioner will visit four more towns and cities over the next few weeks as they complete their county-wide Join the Conversation events.

PCC David Keane and CC Darren Martland are giving residents in Chester, Warrington, Crewe and Runcorn the opportunity to talk to them about local policing issues in their area.

It follows four similar events held in community venues in Ellesmere Port, Northwich, Widnes and Macclesfield at the end of 2019.

The events are part of the chief and PCC’s commitment to bring back real neighbourhood policing to the county.

They want to give Cheshire residents the opportunity to talk to them about the issues that matter most to their communities so they can ensure they are policed appropriately.

PCC David Keane said: “It was fantastic to see so many residents engage in our events in Ellesmere Port, Northwich, Widnes and Macclesfield over the past few months and now it’s Chester, Warrington, Crewe and Runcorn’s chance to have their say.

“It’s vitally important that the police have a good relationship with the public they serve and are aware of your priorities. These events are providing the opportunity to hear first-hand the issues that matter most to our communities.

“The events have already demonstrated the high levels of pride in our communities and residents’ appetite and passion for keeping their local area safe.”

CC Darren Martland added: “The community is key in helping us identify the local priorities and allows us to ensure that they are resourced appropriately to make our communities even safer.

“This is your chance to talk to us directly about the priority issues for your community and I hope to see lots of people engaging in the events and shaping our future priorities together.”
