Leicestershire's PCC Rupert Matthews has visited Measham and Donisthorpe to address issues in those areas.

Mr Matthews visited North West Leicestershire earlier this month to meet a variety of local representatives.

His visit also included Ashby where he met town councillors to discuss policing matters, as reported here last week.

But he also took in Measham and the 'border village' of Donisthorpe.

Mr Matthews reported on the feedback he received via his website.

He said: "Measham was my next destination, where I met with Tom Rooney.

"Tom runs Measham Events voluntary group, which organises the village fete among other local events.

"Tom shared with me concerns from residents regarding suspicious vehicles that have been spotted in the area, driving slowly in residential areas. As ever, I shall pass these concerns to the local NPA Commander.

"I then made a brief stop in Donisthorpe to speak to local residents.

"As a border village, understandably there were concerns about police response times in case of emergencies.

"There were also concerns regarding speeding vehicles, though mainly the feedback was very positive where residents are clearly very proud to live in such a lovely village."
