Police and firefighters pop up to meet young and old in Sutton

Ashfield Council officers joined staff from Kirkby’s Ashfield Fire Station and members of Nottinghamshire Police’s Ashfield neighbourhood policing team at the pop-up event at Portland Square and Quarrydale Young People’s Centre.

A police team spokesman said: “People from all walks of life were spoken to, and there was plenty of fun to be had at the youth club. The cage of our van may need a wipe down, but still stands strong.”

Posting on the team’s Facebook page, at fb.com/AshfieldPolice, he said: “We ask you to keep watching this space to find out when the next pop-up Surgeries are arranged for all areas of Sutton-in-Ashfield, and look forward to seeing as many faces and speaking with everyone when the chance arises.”
