A busy week in Shepway

The last week has been pretty 'action packed' for me in Shepway - only space for a few highlights! On Monday I was asked by a local resident in New Romney to go and visit her as she was suffering persistent troubles with local young people attacking her home and garden. She called at 8pm - I was there by 8.20pm. It is appalling anyone should have to suffer this kind of problem. It is particularly bad that such behaviour is often directed at the elderly. Behaviour of this kind is all too common across Shepway. The good news on this occasion was the swift response of the dedicated local Policeman PC Andy Porter when I called him. Within a day, he had visited the lady, reassured her and adjusted his patrolling to make sure that this behaviour is challenged. A brilliant example of the beat Policing that most local people are crying out for in our area.
