RESIDENTS in Alcester and the surrounding district are being urged by police to vote for their top priorities for action to try to help combat crime in the area.

The three most popular suggestions will be set as priorities for the Alcester Police South Safer Neighbourhood Team over the next three months.

Residents have so far proposed extra patrols to deter burglars and illegal parking near to schools, and extra patrols to target anti-social behaviour in Alcester. 

They have also suggested  extra patrols to monitor weight limit on the bridge in Bidford and Welford, and extra patrols and checks to deter speeding in Temple Grafton.

Voting remains open until Monday, December 21 to vote visit warwickshire.police.uk/article/15039/Alcester-Police-South-SNT-Priority-voting-now-live-Dec-2015---March-2016.
