A NEW police community support officer has been appointed for the Stourport Safer Neighbourhood Team.

Liam McCormick has joined the team and will be carrying out daily foot patrols around Stourport town centre and local housing estates.

Last weekend he joined other members of the team for a property marking and crime prevention event, held at locations in Stourport. Local residents and some from further afield brought property to be marked, including a number of bicycles and various garden and power tools.

PCSO’s were on hand to give advice and hand leaflets out, covering both crime prevention and cyber safety for both young people and adults.
