Helston’s neighbourhood policing team has doubled in size after two new PCSOs joined the squad.

PC Anne Butcher told a meeting of Helston Town Council that PCSO Liam Brannigan had joined the team to cover Porthleven and PCSO Ashley Fuller will now be responsible for the Helston North patch.

She stressed that the new Helston officer is a different Ashley Fuller to the one on duty with Falmouth police.

The new arrangement means that PCSO Paul Whitford will return to Helston full-time, and PCSO Julia Berry will contine her work on the Lizard.
