Donna Jones said: “I am pleased to be spending time in Gosport on Saturday attending Cllr Meenaghan and Rob Thompson’s community event. Hearing directly from residents helps me to build a clear picture of concerns and issues and to identify solutions that could be put in place by Hampshire Constabulary or other partners. Whether the issues are about ASB, road safety, or threats of violence, I want to hear about it. I would encourage any residents living In the area that have any concerns to attend.”

Councillor Lesley Meenaghan said: “We are delighted that Donna is joining us Saturday. We hope this will be the first of many opportunities for the residents of Gosport to meet their PCC & share any concerns in regard to matters relating to policing & the safety of local residents”
