RESIDENTS have been invited to meet their local police officer at a new drop-in surgery.

The surgeries for Catterick Garrison and Colburn residents will be held every two months in Colburn Library.

The first will take place on Monday, between 5pm and 7pm. The surgeries have been organised by Sergeant Neil North. He said: "This surgery is just one step towards achieving this, encouraging residents to attend and talk freely and in confidence to their local police."
