BUDLEIGH Salterton's policing team said the new open police surgeries in the town and East Budleigh were proving popular.

PC David Lee said the police surgeries had generated a lot of interest in the town and the village.

PC Lee said people appreciated being able to go into the station and talk to the police face-to-face.

PC Lee said the second surgery at East Budleigh gave residents who were not confident of travelling to Budleigh Salterton the opportunity to meet their local officers.
