Anyone walking around the Pennington area over the last week, will have seen a fantastic effort by local people to abide by the latest government advice.
However, this advice seems to have been missed by a very, very small minority of parents who allow their offspring to gather in groups around the area.
The country is in a serious situation and we ask that people respect the government advice on the Covid-19 issue.
It doesn't just kill older people....it kills your children as well.

Please stay safe and keep your kids home.

A message from Chief Constable Ian Hopkins around COVID-19

"There has been a increase in the amount of reports made using the Live Chat service on our website and I want to encourage the public to continue using this and 101 for all non-emergency situations.
We are answering Live Chat messages between 30 to 60 seconds, so it is a really effective way to communicate with us."

"One of the key challenges ahead for us will be responding to incidents with reduced resources as the full impact of COVID-19 continues to take hold of our workforce. "

We would prefer that parents looked after their children rather than the police.
