The community police team have advised us that following the introduction of a new countrywide policing programme, which will consist of dedicated neighbourhood teams including a sergeant, police officers, PCSO’s (Police community support officers) and specials. There has been more visible policing on Five Links, i.e. foot and cycle patrols and crime figures are reducing.

The police are looking at the possibility of holding surgeries where residents can visit them and discuss any issues confidentially without attending the police station. They are currently looking for suitable venues.
