Your Team

Inspector Mark Gammage

Inspector Mark Gammage I am Mark Gammage, the Neighbourhood Inspector for the Congleton area. I am responsible for policing in the areas of Middlewich, Sandbach, Congleton, Alsager and Holmes Chapel.

My officers and I are committed to making the areas within Congleton Borough a safe and pleasant environment in which to live and work.

We are working hard to reduce the levels of crime and increase the number of crimes detected. We are making progress in cutting the number of burglaries, as well as the number of people killed or seriously injured on the borough's roads. Anyone who has any close experience of either of these traumatic events will agree that this needs to remain a priority for the police and local partners.

I would emphasise that it is by working with the residents who live and work in Congleton neighbourhood that enables us to identify, target and prosecute individuals who commit crime. It is your cooperation and support which is helping us to ensure that your neighbourhoods are safe and help residents feel safe.

We hold regular surgeries in the community giving the public every opportunity to speak with us to tell us what we are doing right, and just as importantly what we are doing wrong. We as the Police can only act on what information is given to us. We respond to your priorities. If I or my team is not aware a problem exists, we can't do anything to help. I would encourage the local community to help us to make a positive difference by continuing to provide their support and information.
