• General enquiries

We cover approximately 80 villages mostly on a 4 weekly rota. A Police officer and a County Contact advice officer from Nottinghamshire County Council are available to answer your enquiries on Police and council services (both County and District Councils). We also hold occasional surgeries with the Pensions Service and the Community Development officer.

You're welcome to "come on board and have a chat", discuss any issues of concern or obtain forms or leaflets.A private interview room is available for confidentiality and the vehicle also has an access lift for wheelchair users

Posters giving details of our visits are sent to your local Clerk to the Parish Council and the local Post Office or village shop.  We look forward to seeing you when we visit your area.
