Police and council join forces to answer your queries

Merton Council and the Police are joining forces on Friday 26 February to launch their first 'Face the Public' event aimed at hearing your views and answering your community safety questions.

As part of their statutory duty to speak to the public about these issues, Merton Council's chief executive Ged Curran and Merton Police Borough Commander Chris Bourlet are going around the borough over the coming months inviting people who live, work or visit Merton to come along and ask them their questions about community safety, crime and anti-social behaviour.

They will kick start the events next Friday 26 February in Mitcham town centre by the clock tower from midday until 2pm and will have the local Safer Neighbourhood team on hand to speak to you too. Just look out for the reassurance bus and come and get involved.

Further events will follow throughout the year with the next session planned for Wednesday 10 March 2010 in Wimbledon piazza.
