Crime and safety to feature at Ludlow and Clee area LJC meeting on 2 March 2017

There will be an opportunity to ask questions and express concerns about crime and safety at a public meeting in Ludlow on Thursday 2 March 2017.

The main guest of the evening will be West Mercia’s Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner, Tracey Onslow. She will talk about how the commissioner’s office and West Mercia Police work to reduce crime and fear of crime. The meeting will also discuss anti-social behaviour and continuing problems with young people racing around the town centre and other streets in vehicles.

Tracey will be supported by local police officers, including Steven Mason, Ludlow’s new police constable.

Councillor Andy Boddington, Chair of Ludlow and Clee area Local Joint Committee (LJC), said:

“We have a lot of concerns around the town at the moment about anti-social behaviour. People are also concerned about burglaries.

“We are a low crime town, but we also need to address fear of crime. This meeting will be an opportunity to talk directly to local police officers and the Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner.”

Ann Sutcliffe, a executive director at South Shropshire Housing Association, will talk about the housing association’s new development at Beech Gardens, Sandpits Road.

Ludlow and Clee area LJC meets on Thursday 2 March 2017 from 7pm at the Bishop Mascall Centre, Lower Galdeford, Ludlow.
