POLICE are seeking help from a community group to help them set up a Partners and Communities Together (Pact) panel in Preston and Sutton Poyntz.

PC Kevin Eames and Police Community Support Officer Steph Weedon have already had success doing this in the Wey Valley and Radipole electoral wards by linking the panels into already established groups.

PC Eames said: "We would like to make contact with a residents' group that meets regularly in the Preston area. The intention is to bolt on' Pact to an established group so we would like to discuss this with interested parties."

Anyone who can help, and those interested in becoming a Homewatch co-ordinator in the above areas, can leave a message for PC 1358 Eames or PCSO 5319 Weedon on 01305 222222.
