Need to ask advice about community safety issues? If you’re in Sidney Sussex area then pop into our Community Safety drop-ins at our community hub at 82 Grimsby Road.
VANEL now run monthly Community Safety Drop-ins with the Police at our offices, 82 Grimsby Road in Cleethorpes.
These are an opportunity to pick up community safety materials from our offices; ask questions of Police or Karl (re Neighbourhood Watch or scams for example); and to raise any concerns you have about community safety.
We aim these at local Sidney Sussex residents (but anyone is welcome) as we are normally attended by a member of the Sidney Sussex Neighbourhood Policing Team.
The first of our new drop-ins was on 1st October 2025 and was attended by PC David Mickleburgh from the Sidney Sussex team and a couple of residents.

Each session has a ‘theme’ so we’re ready to talk about that topic specifically if it will help you. But of course, we can discuss any issue you want to raise. No need to book, just turn up.
