From today (Friday) people in Milford Haven can combine a trip to the shops with a chat with their local police officer.

Milford Haven PCSO Laura Galdo will be hosting a weekly surgery between 11am and noon at the Eurospar store, Charles Street.

It will be a chance for people to bring up any issues or ask questions about the neighbourhood policing team and the work it does in the town.

Chris Ward, store manager, said: “I think it’s a great idea, we have been keen to do this for a long time.

“We have a big cross section of the community come in here, who may be not so comfortable with going to a police station or think that their problem is not enough to ring the police, so this will provide both Laura and the local community an opportunity to chat, informally, about any issues anyone may be having.

“We work closely with the local PCSO and with the police and will do all we can to support them and therefore the local community."
