The True Policing Picture in Dringhouses and Woodthorpe

Some alarmist literature has been circulating in the area claiming that Police patrols are being cut. This isn’t true in Dringhouses and Woodthorpe.

Our Neighbourhood Policing team continues to be:

PC Colin Park and PC Mark Antonelli covering both Dringhouses and Woodthorpe and Westfield Ward.
