The St Matthews area used to share a PACT meeting with neighbouring ward Fishwick, but police have decided to set up a dedicated meeting.

Community Beat Manager PC Mark Douglas said: “Until recently we shared our PACT with Fishwick ward and we had a joint meeting every month. We have now split our meetings in order to dedicate the whole monthly meeting to the needs of the people of St Matthews.

“It will give local people a chance to hear about some of recent successes and operations that have taken place in the area and allow them to ask questions about local policing, whilst raising issues and problems that the police should know about. Ultimately it’s about residents having a say in how their local area is policed.”

The first meeting takes place this Tuesday from 7pm at St Matthews Mission, Acregate Lane. It will continue on the second Tuesday of every month at the same time and venue.

Anyone who is unable to attend the meeting but would like to speak to their local neighbourhood police officer can call 101 or email the team fulwoodsouth.NPT@lancashire.pnn.police.uk.
