It's that time of the year again to have another 'West Side' Community Meeting.
This time we're going to be holding it at Redhills School on Wed 25th Apr from 7pm - 8.30pm. We realized that our last meeting went on for longer than we wanted so we're going to cut this one by half an hour.

1. Meet the team. 2. Current force priorities. 3. Local issues. 4. Modern Slavery and Op Cleft (County Lines) 5. Q&A.
Again we'll be looking at inviting the local Councillors' from each ward so you can ask them...
