It was great to meet the local policing team for Tunstall yesterday for their ‘Cuppa with a Copper’ event in Tunstall Market.
Delighted to meet one of the new Staffordshire Police recruits, part of the Governments pledge to have 20,000 more police officers on the streets.
I raised the following issues:
- Tunstall Market Square - I raises the issues of illegal drinking and drug taking which saw an increase in ASB. Officers are having extra patrols and I will be contacting Stoke-on-Trent City Council about CCTV coverage whilst the Town Hall is being refurbished.
- Increase in violent attacks in Burslem Park Ward which Councillor Lesley Adams, brought to my attention. Police are investigating but are awaiting leads in who is involved.
If you have any information please ensure you contact the police.
