PARTNERS and Communities Together (PACT) meetings will be taking place over the next few weeks across Redditch following their success in the central ward.

PACT meetings form part of a Government initiative called Local Policing which will see police, together with partner agencies and the community tackle local issues at a local level.

There will be a meeting tonight at The Barn, Winyates Way, Winyates.

There will be three the following Wednesday at Noah's Ark in Matchborough Centre, St John's Church, Greenlands Avenue, Greenlands, and the Oak Centre, Batchley.

After this there will be one at St Bede's Middle School, Studley Road, Lodge Park, and on February 1 at Athur Jobson House, Abbeydale.

All meetings take place at 7pm.
