Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association, along with Councillor Chandra Kanneganti have requested an increase in foot fall police in the area to reassure residents of face to face visibility.
M.P. David Williams has made it possible for the residents association and Concillor Kanneganti to have regular meetings with top level chiefs at Stoke on Trent’s police headquarters going back to March of this year.
With support from Sergeant Rob Emanuel and PCSO Michael Frost, it has been agreed that monthly PCSO visits take place in key areas, including McDonalds and the BP Retail Park. It has also been agreed that street areas on local estates will be visited, and the residents association, councillor and M.P. will be updated where visits have taken place.
The police sergeant has also arranged for joint quarterly visits to take place around the area where residents can see the police, residents association, councillor and M.P. and are able to share their concerns should they have any. The first quarterly visit is to start at Sandyford McDonald’s at 3.30 p.m. on Friday 3rd October before moving on to other parts of the ward.
This is a great achievement where the residents group, politicians and police have all come together to address better police visibility in our area, which will be monitored by all concerned to ensure this works for our Sandyford & Goldenhill Community.
