The local MP for Taunton Deane, Rebecca Pow, recently joined Police and Crime Commissioner candidate Mark Shelford in meeting local Beat Managers to discuss the issues they face locally.
Rebecca Pow has been supporting residents in Taunton Deane for some time, raising their concerns regarding Rural Crime, fly tipping and anti-social behaviour with the local authorities and police teams. Mark Shelford and Rebecca had the opportunity to discuss their concerns direct with the beat managers during a special visit to the area.
At the meeting the local beat managers told the local MP and the PCC candidate of how they have been tackling, though a multi-agency approach, antisocial behaviour on their street, including drug use and sale.
Rebecca Pow MP said: “I have been working with local residents in Taunton for some time, putting them in touch with the local police team to ensure their concerns are being heard, and I can fully appreciate how worried local residents must be about the current situation.
Mark Shelford said: “I am extremely sympathetic to the plight of local residents in Taunton and am committed to working with Rebecca and engaging with both the Local Authority, local Councillors and the Police to improve this situation particularly dealing with rural crime, for residents at the earliest opportunity and to keep our communities safe.”
