STUDLEY residents are being invited to a police surgery at Studley Sports and Social club to discuss a recent spike in crime in the village.

The meeting is being held on April 3rd at 7pm.

Parish Councillor Karen Somner-Brown said: "I have organised this event in response to a recent spike in crime in the village and the many comments on the Studley Matters and Studley Neighbourhood Watch facebook pages asking 'where are the police'. I felt it would be a good idea for people to be able to voice their concerns directly with the Safer Neighbourhood Team and listen to how the police are addressing the issues."
