IS FEELING SAFE IMPORTANT TO YOU?

Local people are being urged not to be left in the dark, if feeling safe is important to them.

A series of special Community Forum events have been organised by the Thanet Community Safety Partnership over the next few weeks.

These are different to residents’ or PACT meetings, as senior police and council officers will be present to hear people’s views on the community safety issues that matter to them and work with communities to help set priorities for the coming year.

Cllr. Chris Wells, Cabinet Member for Community Services, said: “This is your chance to come along and find out the truth about crime in the area you live in and tell us what matters to you. We’ll have details of the crime statistics for your area and you can help us set the priorities for tackling crime and anti-social behaviour over the next year. You can also play your part, by helping us to get new projects off the ground to improve the level of safety in your town.”

The forums will be taking place at the following locations on the following dates:
The Centre, Alpha Road, Birchington on Monday 21 February
Comfort Inn, Victoria Parade, Ramsgate on Tuesday 22 February
Canterbury Christ Church University, Northwood Road, the Broadstairs campus on Monday 28 February
Media Centre, King Street, Margate on Tuesday 1 March

All sessions are from 6.30pm to 8.00pm with light refreshments. Residents’ meetings will still be running as normal, but will not have senior officers attending.
