ON WHEELS: Dozens of residents turned out to air concerns after police took to the road in a mobile police station.

Residents from Alton, Oakamoor, Ipstones, Kingsley and Froghall were among the first to take advantage of the opportunity to meet their Local Policing Team.

Among the concerns of villagers was traffic speeding to the nearby Alton Towers, parking, and the closure of the police station at Waterhouses.

Newly-appointed Moorlands commander, Inspector Clare Riley, was onboard the mobile police station when it stopped off at Kingsley Village Hall.

The first to tackle officers was parish councillor Ivor Lucas, pictured with Insp Riley, who was concerned about parents posing a traffic hazard parking outside St Werburgh's School.

He said: "Parking is always the biggest issue in the village."
