The police surgery is relaxed and informal. It takes place at the Centre on the first Monday of the month between 6.30-7.30pm, during the Hub drop-in session. The aim of the surgery is to give you a chance to seek advice, raise concerns around safety issues, report incidents, or make any comments on policing in your area. The next surgeries take place on the 7th of June and 5th of July.
