"Cllr Linda Pailing (Netteswell) and I were at the police consultative meeting tonight. The meeting launched the new police neighbourhood panels, which have now had their first couple of meetings.

Each ward will now have its own PCSOs and a dedicated Neighbourhood Support Officer - what used to be a local beat officer. A number of issues were raised by residents, including parking across dropped kerbs and on pavements, levels of crime and the number of police officers we have in Harlow."
