CATSHILL residents will have the chance to quiz the West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner over an apparent increase in crime and speeding concerns.

John Campion will attend a meeting with residents and the local Safer Neighbourhood Team to discuss their concerns.

Catshill South Councillor Shirley Webb, who is hosting the meeting, said: “Crime seems to have been on the increase since before Christmas.

“Lots of elderly residents are expressing concern and want reassurance from the police.”

An initial meeting at Catshill Methodist Church Hall on Golden Cross Lane at 7pm on Tuesday, April 4, has been postponed until May. Details of the meeting will be announced at a later date.
