POLICE and support officers are to hold a series of surgeries across Rossendale for people to share their concerns.

Anyone with worries or concerns about local policing is asked to go and meet the local community beat manager to discuss any problems.

Residents can also seek crime prevention advice or discuss specific local issues.

Superintendent Steve Hartley said: "Now the majority of residents are getting their own local community beat manager I hope they will take the chance to get to know them."

Police Community Support Officer Graham Roe will hold a surgery at Sunnyhurst Community Centre, in Pennine Road, Bacup, on November 25 from 10am to noon.

PCSO Nick Stratton will be at Waterfoot Neighbourhood office from 11am to noon on the same day.

PC Clare Di Michele will be at Bacup Health Centre on November 28 from 2pm to 4pm.
