Lewes District Council and Sussex Police are inviting residents of the Malling Estate Area, Lewes, to a Street consultation session on Wednesday 3rd September 2008 from 6pm till 7pm.

The meeting will be held at Malling Community Centre Car Park, Hereward Way, Lewes, and will provide an opportunity for local residents to let us know how they feel about crime and anti-social behaviour around their local area.

Representatives from Lewes District Council and Sussex Police will be available to explain the work the police and the local action team are involved in, including youth activities and community development. The meeting will generate actions for both the local police team and Lewes District Council.

The Police and Lewes District Council will be in Malling Community Centre Car Park, Hereward Way, Lewes for about an hour, however, they will stay as long as it is necessary to listen to, and understand the issues that are raised.

The meeting will also give residents the opportunity to find out how they can help contribute towards making the neighbourhood safer. If you are unable to come along to the street consultation, please speak to a neighbour and ask them to come along and raise the issues on your behalf.

This is an opportunity for local people to influence what happens in the area where they live.
