Volunteers help keep neighbourhood safer (Little Stoke and Stoke Gifford)
Posted on Wednesday 12th May 2010 at 7:19 am by SH (Editor)Volunteers from the community are helping neighbourhood police keep Little Stoke and Stoke Gifford safe.
Since the volunteers signed up in autumn 2009 they have helped police identify anti-social behaviour (ASB) hotspots, enabled officers to seize alcohol from underage drinkers, identified 60 speeding vehicles and carried out community clean-ups.
Neighbourhood PC Mark Graham said: “We asked for volunteers to help us tackle the three issues that the community had told us were their priorities: speeding, ASB and littering.
“These people are making a real difference to their community. Making the neighbourhood safer and stronger is a team effort. Police work with other agencies like South Gloucestershire Council, but we need the support of local people as well.”
