A walkabout is being planned in Netherfield to learn about how crime is having an impact on the area.
Police and crime commissioner Paddy Tipping is planning to walk around the town this Friday (February 7).
The walk will start off at Carlton Police Station at 1.30pm and the route will follow Victoria Road, Bourne Mews and Deabill Street where they will be dropping in to businesses along the way and talking to local people.
Mr Tipping will be accompanied by the local neighbourhood policing team and Cllr David Ellis and Cllr Nicki Brooks.
The public are invited to use the opportunity to raise any concerns they have about crime or antisocial behaviour in the area as well as find out about the safety improvements taking place to improve local life.
“Good policing is all about teamwork and local people are very much part of that team,” said Mr Tipping.
“This is an opportunity to tell us about any issues or problems which are impacting on your quality of life so that together with our partners we can address them. I hope to meet many local people and business owners on the visit and get a better understanding of life in the City Centre.”
The PCC has hosted a number of community walkabouts to engage with communities and identify safety issues which impact on fear of crime.
Key issues will be fed back to neighbourhood policing teams to address.
