Long serving Neighbourhood Watch Liaison Officer for Dover and Shepway, Sally Coleman has retired after eleven years in the job.

She has thanked members for support, help and friendship over the last eleven years and said: "You are all a wonderful example of how Neighbourhood Watch and Country Eye can benefit the community."

"Take great care of yourselves, your neighbours and please continue to look out for and after your elderly and vulnerable neighbours."

Sally's area will now be covered by Paul Brosnan who works in the Ashford district.

Paul explained: "I have been responsible for Neighbourhood Watch in Ashford and Tenterden for the last 7 years and I look forward to extending my area and helping members in the Dover and Shepway areas."
