Residents living in Lydd, Dymchurch and St Mary’s Bay have another opportunity to talk about police issues in the community from the comfort of their own home on Friday evening (14 October).

Anyone wanting to join the online beat meeting can log on and members of the police neighbourhood team will be waiting to take questions and talk about the work of the police in their local area.

Those taking part don't need to register to watch or take part in a conversation, just log on during the meeting and post a question. The session starts at 7pm and will last until 8pm.

Police community support officer Mandy Kimpton explained: “This is another way to contact us. We appreciate that not everyone can attend meetings or meet us during the day. We hope that people will log on, perhaps from home or even using their phone, if they are out and about.”
