OLDHAM'S new police chiefs have revealed their plans for the borough ­- and have vowed to make working with local communities a priority.

In two exclusive interviews with the Chronicle, Chief Supt Neil Evans, GMP's new territorial commander who will also oversee Rochdale and Tameside, and Supt Danny Inglis, Oldham's new divisional commander, spoke about how they wanted to improve policing.

The message was clear from both that working with communities is a priority for police to achieve the best results possible.

Engaging with the community, motivating staff and maintaining an effective relationship with other services are key to providing the best policing in Oldham.
