"Banned from walking"Lesley Pooley, a police community support officer, has been banned from walking large swathes of her beat because of the lack of pavements in the rural areas of South Cerney and Cerney Wick near Cirencester. Mrs Pooley complained she felt unsafe because of the risk of being hit by vehicles as she pounded the streets. Senior officers at Gloucestershire Police agreed she should not walk the beat for "health and safety" reasons. This woman took over from the previous CSO, Ian Yeoman who wouldn’t patrol the villages because he said he had no means of getting there and could not use the bus service, as it had not been checked out for health and safety! I wonder if their Chief Constable writes comedy sketches part time? |
