I recently attended Darlington College with both Anna Wilkes, our media and marketing expert as well as our Deputy Chief Constable Michael Banks to judge a poster design competition to promote PACT meetings.

As we looked at the amazing standard of art and design the students demonstrated, it was obvious that we would try and incorporate as many of the designs over the coming months to promote the fantastic work that the PACT meetings achieve and tell people when and where their own meeting is being held.

I will feed in some of the designs as time goes on so you can have a sneek preview.

Keep an eye out for our new Anti Social Behaviour and PACT vehicle which has been provided to us by RMB Toyota. We intend to have this vehicle buzzing around the town promoting PACT and focusing on improving our service to the public. Stop and say hello.

Finally, I've been building my new shed at home my other one having collapsed during the winter. Tell me what you think? I might even move in!!
