Thanks to Inspector Gilbertson – after today’s meeting (where we went through issues in the area), Steve and I had a walk around Ashfield Road, Whitegates Road and Oak Road in Cheadle, where I was able to show him the specific places where we’ve had problems with anti-social behaviour and crime.

Steve’s new to the job, and to our area. He’s doing a great job, and it really helps to see the places and  meet the people.

Inspector Gilbertson is planning further walkabouts with all the councillors in the West Stockport area.

Meanwhile, on the specific issue of the problems in the Oak Road area, the Police are working hard, both speaking to the individuals believed to be causing the problems and increasing patrols.
