Bracknell

Bracknell Police officers will be tackling Easthampstead residents this Thursday (26/4) – on the football pitch.

PC Phil Appleby, neighbourhood police officer for Easthampstead, has organised a football match between officers and PCSOs from the Bracknell neighbourhood policing team and a group of youngsters from Rainforest Walk.

“The match is being held to build community spirit,” said Richard. “Previous football matches organised between police officers and young people in Slough, as well as the ‘Kick out racism’ football tournament in Maidenhead in 2005, have had a very positive impact on relationships between police and the community.

“We’re hoping that this match will have a similar effect, and that plenty of families, friends, neighbours and colleagues will come along on Thursday to support both teams.”

The match is being held at 4pm on 26 April on the Astroturf pitch at Bracknell Leisure Centre, Bagshot Road.
