NEIGHBOURHOOD police officers in the Marsh House and Whitehall areas of Darwen have outlined their priorities following meetings with residents.

The neighbourhood team hosts monthly street PACT (Police And Communities Together) meetings in the area where they can be approached by residents who discuss any concerns about crime or anti social behaviour with them.

The meetings are then used to set the policing agenda for the coming weeks.

Residents have raised concerns about nuisance in the area of Ross Street and Cyprus Street during the evenings, where youths have been reportedly playing ‘knock a door run’ and stealing doorbells.

There have also been reports of antisocial behaviour in the evenings around Sough Road and Watery Lane, while people living in Ratcliffe Street have had their cars damaged.

The next meetings take place outside Mayfield Flats in Bolton Road tomorrow from 3pm.

PC Phil Hambley, the neighbourhood officer for the area, can be contacted by 01254 222135 or DarwenandRural.NPT@lancashire.pnn.police.uk.
