AN online Beat Surgery will be taking place for New Forest residents later this month.

Between 1pm and 2pm on Monday July 20, residents will be able to have an online session with members of their local police team on the New Forest Heart Cops Facebook page.

Although many of the lockdown restrictions have been lifted and life is returning to something approaching normal, the New Forest police team have again cancelled all of their regular monthly face to face Beat Surgeries this month, and will be continuing with online events throughout July.

The Beat Surgery is designed to let residents speak directly to members of their local police team to raise any issues or problems they may have and to provide opportunities to ask questions.
