There will also be an opportunity to meet the local Police Community Support Officer.

Residents will also have the opportunity to find out where the Council currently spends tax payers' money and help the authority decide its budget priorities for the next year by completing a questionnaire.
Cllr Peter Fleming, Leader of the Council, says: "Being open and accessible to the general public is extremely important, and I would really encourage residents of the District to come along to these events to have their say on local issues. It is vital for us to get feedback so we can plan how we and our partners provide important local services, and meet the needs of our residents."
