Police surgery to be held in Westhoughton this week

The event will take place at The Hub on Central Drive, Westhoughton, on Thursday, June 4, from 7pm to 8pm.

Hosted by Greater Manchester Police‘s neighbourhood policing team, the surgery will give people the opportunity to raise concerns about issues affecting their area and discuss matters directly with officers.

Police say the event is designed to help them identify and tackle the issues that matter most to local communities.

Residents who are unable to attend can also contact their neighbourhood policing team to share concerns and provide information about problems in their area.

The force is encouraging people to sign up to Bee in the Loop, Greater Manchester Police’s free community alert system, which provides updates on local policing activity and crime prevention advice.

For non-emergency incidents or to report a crime, people can contact police by calling 101 or using the Live Chat service on the GMP website. The public should only call 999 in emergencies where there is an immediate threat to life or a crime is in progress.

More information is available on the Greater Manchester Police website.
