Kenilworth people can talk to police about crime at a new community group's first meeting on Monday.
Kenilworth Community Forum is continuing the work of the town's safer neighbourhood panel, in which Warwickshire police, residents, councillors and neighbourhood watch groups worked together to tackle crime and nuisance behaviour.
Members of the p
ublic will be able to raise their concerns at a police surgery at the Holiday Inn from 6.30pm, before the forum meeting at 7pm.
The safer neighbourhood panel's chairman Coun Pauline Edwards said up to 100 people had attended events in the past, and Monday's meeting would highlight the results of recent months' work on safety, speeding, anti-social behaviour, graffiti and other issues.
She added: "This is an important meeting which will not only celebrate all the hard work and achievement of the panel, but will also pave the way for the establishment of a new community forum for Kenilworth that will deal with a wider range of issues and concerns raised by local people."
Safer neighbourhood panels involved police, residents and local authority members, but there are plans to include education, housing and the health service in the work of the new forum.
Kenilworth sector commander Insp Richard Woodcock hopes townspeople will continue to draw the police's attention to problems in their area.
He said: "We have enjoyed a very successful and productive relationship over the past four years, with Kenilworth leading the way in change and initiative.
"The new community forum will provide a platform to ensure continued support. In particular we will be focusing on more specific priorities chosen by the community forum following increased consultation with the public."
Insp Woodcock added: "We are hoping that people in the community will join in and reap the benefits of local solutions to local issues."
