Police team for Riverside and Belmont

Neighbourhood policing for the Riverside and Belmont areas of Maidenhead will be launched at a meeting on Monday.

The new style of community policing will be introduced to the public at the Holiday Inn, Manor Lane, off Shoppenhangers Road, starting at 6.30pm.

Insp John McDonald, neighbourhood inspector for Maidenhead, will be introducing members of the neighbourhood policing team.

He said: "The meeting will start with an explanation of what neighbourhood policing is all about and we will then ask the audience to tell us the most important things they would like the partners to do to improve the quality of life in Riverside and Belmont.

"Finally, we will be asking people to be part of the local Neighbourhood Action Group (NAG). It will be this group that steers neighbourhood policing and progresses the top priorities based on feedback provided by residents at the open meetings."

The neighbourhood policing team for Maidenhead Riverside and Belmont comprises:

• Insp John McDonald

• Sgt Adrian Blades

• PC Michelle Roberts - Neighbourhood Specialist Officer

• Police Community Support Officer Sophie Perfect
