A FORUM on policing needs in Wauchope will be held at the Wauchope Country Club next Wednesday 8 February commencing at 9.30am, organised by the Wauchope Community Progress Association (WCPA).
President of the Association, George Hegarty, pictured, said the purpose of the meeting was to report on the results of the survey, to listen to residents' ongoing concerns, to hear from member for Oxley Andrew Stoner on the NSW government plans for increased police presence in Wauchope, and to find workable and sustainable solutions to clearly expressed safety concerns in the community.
"These concerns are perceived, in great part, to be attributable to current policing practices," Mr Hegarty said.
"Residents and business owners are becoming increasingly frustrated and angry by what is happening in this town.
"The Forum is not a witch-hunt or a blame game exercise but an opportunity for us all to find workable and sustainable solutions to clearly felt safety concerns."
Representatives of the NSW police will attend the meeting.
Mr Stoner has indicated that he is on a visit to the electorate that day and can attend the meeting for about 45 minutes.
