STREET drinkers were moved on during police patrols in Poole's Ashley Road.

Now officers from the Poole Neighbourhood Policing Team(NPT) have urged members of the public to alert them to any concerns.

A spokesman said police officers, Police Community Support Officers and officers from the Community Safety Accreditation Scheme regularly join forces on patrols.

"A small group of street drinkers were moved on in line with current restrictions. Albeit we don't photograph every occasion we are out on foot, please be assured that Poole NPT carry out regular foot patrols across the patch on a daily basis.

"It is currently difficult to engage with our communities the same way as we used to. If you need to speak to us, do stop us for a socially distanced chat if you see us out and about. We are happy to discuss any concerns or answer any questions you may have."
