Police & Councillors in Joint surgeries

Joint beat surgeries will be piloted over the next few months at various locations across Gedling Borough where local police officers and council member(s) for that area will be on hand to offer advice on issues that matter to residents locally. Joint consideration will be given to assessing how these trials progress and consider whether they might be extended to other areas of the Borough.
Chief Inspector Kim Molloy of Nottinghamshire Police's South Nottinghamshire Division says: 'This is a joint partnership venture which will help us improve how we engage with the community. These surgeries are open to residents to enable them to discuss not only policing matters but also any local community issues, such as Council services or anti-social behaviour, that affect their neighbourhood.'
Dates and venues will be advertised in advance.

Be sure of your vote

Gedling Borough is urging residents to return their completed Electoral Registration form as soon as possible, in order to secure their right to vote in the forthcoming Borough Council Elections on 3 May 2007.
All households in the Borough should have received an Electoral Registration form during August. Occupants are required by law to provide information about who lives in the property and who is eligible to vote, so that the Council can publish a new, up to date Electoral Register every year.
The form should include everyone resident at the address, including lodgers and people who are temporarily away either working, in hospital, in student accommodation or on holiday. People can register only for the address at which they are resident. Registering for other services or paying Council Tax does not register residents to vote, so it is important that all households complete the form.
