A Horsforth businessman and town councillor is encouraging residents to take advantage of West Yorkshire Police contact events in the town.
The drop-in sessions at Hooleos on Town Street are free and offer a chance for residents to raise concerns, report a crime, or ask advice in confidence. No appointment is necessary and refreshments are available.
Julio Tulaman is the owner of Hooleos. He said: “As a town councillor and also a member of the Horsforth community, I feel pleased that our local PCSOs are really making an effort to maintain their presence with the public and be reachable for face to face consultations within a walking distance.
“We started these contact points at Hooleos cafe over 12 months ago so people can have an informal conversation about any issues or concerns within a relaxed environment as this is a free service and no purchase is necessary while calling-in.
“We have had a huge success when the contact point is on and lots of Horsforth locals have approached them to report crimes or address concerns.
“I think people should take advantage of these dates posted and just pop in as no appointment is required.
“I’m proud that WY Police have chosen our venue to support them in this community service.”
Local PCSO Julie Richardson will be present at the sessions, with the next one taking place this coming Monday, June 2. Each session takes place on a Monday between 11am and 12pm.
The June dates are then the 9th, 23rd and 30th, with two more planned for July on the 7th and 21st.
