People will have the chance to raise issues with local police officers at a meeting next week.

Members of the public have been invited to talk with their Essex Police team at the evening meeting in St Mary’s Church, Loughton High Road on Monday (February 8).

The meeting comes ahead of planned cuts on April 1, with stations set to close and 16 out of 26 police community support officers (PCSOs) in Epping Forest and Brentwood losing their jobs.

The open meeting runs for an hour from 6.30pm on Monday.
