Police officers and fire fighters are teaming up this weekend in Budleigh Salterton to help improve their levels of service to the local community.
Members of the Fire and Rescue and Police services will set up at two locations in the town with their respective vehicles between 10.00 am and 12 noon on Saturday April 11 2009. Both services will be speaking with local residents on ways they can help the community.
Police officers will be focussing on establishing a "top 3" list of actions for the new PACT (Partners and Communities Together) Panel to address. The Fire service will be offering the opportunity to obtain free smoke detectors supplied and fitted along with fire safety advice in the home for everyone.
Local beat manager PC David Lea said: "It’s great to work alongside the local Fire and Rescue Service. It is typical of what we are trying to achieve with PACT by having local networking of likeminded people working together to make the whole community of Budleigh even better. Once we have completed our survey we should know what concerns the people living here and we can then bring that to the PACT Panel for some action to be taken."
Steve Hunt, local Crew Manager at Budleigh Salterton Fire Station, said "We aim as a service to have working smoke detectors coupled with a Fire Safety Awareness in every home."
Both emergency services will have a prize Easter Egg donated by local businesses Spar, of Fore Street, and And Cards Too of the High Street. At the end of the initiative a random draw will take place from those who have helped with the PACT survey and the Fire Safety checks. There will be one prize giveaway egg from both of the emergency services.
Shoppers in the High Street on Easter Saturday should look out for the Blue Lights vehicles where a warm welcome awaits them and maybe a big Easter egg to boot.
