**A35 RTC** - One Lane is closed on the A35 Upton Bypass Eastbound towards Poole due to a two vehicle RTC. Traffic is very heavy. Police on scene and awaiting recovery. Minor injuries. #Purbeckpolice #PS1494
Come and see all of us on Sunday and meet your local Neighbourhood policing team. If you’re lucky you may meet PD Bravo.
Now the sun is out it seems like an appropriate time to dust this one off.
PCSO Mike visited Moreton this afternoon to speak to the Employ my ability group to talk about his role in the police. The group got to ask Mike questions for their news article. It was great to visit the group and look forward to future visits. #Communityengagement #PCSO6087 #Purbeckpolice
