Edward Timpson with PC Amy Fletcher

MP Edward Timpson was given a taste of Nantwich nightlife when he went on Friday night patrol with the town’s police.

He teamed up with PC  Amy Fletcher to witness the challenges and demands of the weekend when hundreds descend on the town.

The MP met with Inspector Dave Smithers, head of the Neighbourhood Policing Unit (NPU) on Beam Street, to find out about the local forces’ initiatives.

NPU also covers surrounding areas of Acton, Audlem, Bunbury, Minshull, Peckforton, Willaston, Wrenbury and Wybunbury.

Insp Smithers said: “My priorities for Nantwich are to reduce crime, anti-social behaviour and deal effectively with any night time economy issues. Our aim is to make people safer and feel safe.

“Our communities play an important role in neighbourhood policing, providing the police with information and opinion which influences local police priorities.

“The public are an integral part in the success of policing at a local level, and I would encourage residents to tell police officers and community support officers (PCSOs) about issues they are concerned about.”

Mr Timpson added: “I am pleased to see efforts to engage more with local people on policing are proving popular.

“I believe in giving people more information about their services and more say in how they are run.

“Already you can check all your local crime and policing information by using http://www.police.uk and in November, for the first time, people will have the opportunity to vote for their local Police and Crime Commissioners.”

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
