Olympic Torch comes to Chester

On Tuesday 29th May, Chester played overnight host to the Olympic Flame on its tour of the UK. A number of Chester Outer Police & PCSO officers along with other colleagues and Special Constables were on duty to take charge of the next stage as the Olympic Torch team entered Cheshire from North Wales.

Thousands of people came to view the progress of the torch as it entered Chester and came to its overnight halt at the Chester Racecourse.

The torch procession and the party at the racecourse proved to be a great success and passed without incident.

During the evening, PC’s Darren Franks and Paul Taylor came across Olympic competitor and three times World Gymnastics champion – Beth Tweddle MBE. Beth carried the torch over from Flintshire to Cheshire and was later sighted by Paul and Darren as she travelled home with her family.

Beth very kindly consented to have her photo taken with Paul and Darren.

We wish her all the very best for the forthcoming Olympic Games.

Jubilee Party

On Thursday 28th May Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Karen Dennis and Bishops Library staff held a Jubilee Party with local childminders and Noahs Ark Nursery for children under school age. The event was very well attended with over forty children between 0 and 5 years and their carers enjoying a two hour celebration party in which they made crowns, sang nursery rhymes and had a story about the Queen. PCSO Karen Dennis showed the children the Diamond Jubilee Medal awarded to her by the Queen for five years service. Ann Doris, Community Representative from Sainsburys brought a picnic kindly donated by the store for the event. PCSO Dennis has made strong links with the childminders and nurserys in the area and with Beat Manager PC Malone they often visit young children's groups to talk about the role of the Police and keeping safe. This helps enormously with breaking down barriers with children from an early age and helping them trust and understand that the police help people in many ways.

Childminders provide excellent information about the community in which they live and work. Issues reported to Karen relating to anti-social behaviour, such as litter and underage drinking can be addressed through multi -agency working with the Council Wardens and other agencies.

Regards

Inspector Kevin Chambers
