Recently in Altham we have been having problems with youths and adults carrying airrifles and shooting rabbits/birds/cats & taking pot shots at deers.

I emailed our local community police officer, he rang me within 6 hours and walked over from GT.Harwood and spent around 90minutes talking to me and asking me questions about the area and what he could do to help.

In Altham we have never had a good police service, dog warden service or council service. It took me 20 years to get the council to collect my rubbish bi-weekly!!. Were a semi rural community and local police just dont know how to handle anything outside of the normal.

Anyway, just wanted people to know that for non urgent matters the system can work. Rare i know, but in my case it worked.
