VILLAGERS in east Herefordshire can talk crime with the thin blue line early next month.

Members of the Ledbury Rural Policing Team are holding a surgery in Cradley Post Office on Wednesday (July 9).

The meeting - between 11am and 1pm and attended by PC Debbie Huggins, CSO Paul Smith and CSO Alison Dore - aims to raise any issues over crime and policing in the area.

According to CSO Smith, Cradley is extremely safe, but concerns over speeding, litter and noisy youngsters have been reported.

“If you live in Cradley and have something you would like to raise with your local officers, or if you would just like to meet us, call in at the surgery on 9th July,” he said.
