“Please do use the Echo or OWL methods to let us know your views as they really do make a difference.

“If we know about issues, we can work to tackle them alongside local communities and our partners, including local councils.”

SNTs work alongside local partners to focus on solving long and short-term neighbourhood issues, such as anti-social behaviour, speeding, criminal damage and drug related crime.

To have your say, contribute via Echo before Thursday, October 19.
