Shepton Mallet residents are being invited to speak directly to their neighbourhood police team at two sessions this month. Officers will be at the Art Bank Café on Friday, 16 October, followed by Shepton Mallet Library on Saturday, 24 October.

Friday's session will run from 10.30am to noon at the Art Bank Café, 13 High Street. Residents can come along to raise concerns about their area, ask for advice or meet the officers covering the town.

The second session takes place from 10am to 11.30am at Shepton Mallet Library, 2 Market Place, on Saturday, 24 October. It offers another opportunity for anyone who cannot make the Friday session to speak to the team.

Avon and Somerset Police says officers will be available to listen to concerns, provide guidance and discuss local issues. Anyone who simply wants to meet their neighbourhood officers is also welcome to attend.
