"This is your opportunity to help shape how policing is delivered in your area, share your ideas on what would work in your community, and find out more about the consultation on your council tax and police funding. "Sign up today and be a part of shaping a safer, more effective policing strategy for Somerset." Parking is available at the venue, which is also wheelchair accessible.
People with additional accessibility requirements are encouraged to contact [email protected] to ensure they can fully participate in the event.
