Beginning this week, Dumbarton and Vale residents will have a weekly opportunity to speak face-to-face with police at Alexandria Library.

West Dunbartonshire Police will be hosting a ‘Police Surgery’ at the library every Thursday between 2pm and 4pm, initially on a trial basis.

Residents will be able to speak about any issues they are having that police can potentially assist with.

West Dunbartonshire Police say the aim is to provide public reassurance to those who attend.
