Officers from Dover’s Community Safety Unit have been supporting residents to live well and safely as part of a community day.

Families at the Wellbeing Roadshow held on the River Recreational Ground last Wednesday had the chance to meet their local PCSO, Sarah McGuiness, as well as Tarn Clark, the Community Liaison Officer (CLO) for the district.

The roadshow, organised by Dover District Council, is one of three that have been held across the district this year to promote the importance of positive mental health and offer advice to staying well.

As well as the Kent Police stall, there were those from other agencies, live entertainment and also activities for families.

CLO Tarn Clark said: "This is the third event Kent Police has taken part in to promote better wellbeing in the district this year and it has been wonderful to meet so many residents, offer them crime prevention advice and listen to any safety concerns they have.

"Children have been able to meet officers, learn about policing and see how we can help them.

"Meeting residents and engaging with them is an important part of policing and I hope that the communities have found the events beneficial and enjoyable."

The previous roadshows were in Wingham, on October 6, and Walmer on October 13.

PCSO McGuinness said: "As a PCSO, it is important to speak to people in the communities we serve as it gives us a good awareness of any issues which need attention and we can then work with our partner agencies to ensure Dover stays a safe and happy place."
