FOUR new part-time police community support officers (PCSOs) have been appointed in Pendle.

Sergeant Kim De Curtis, who oversees the West Craven Neighbourhood Policing Team, said the part-time PCSOs, who will work nights, are starting in June.

Sgt De Curtis told a meeting of the West Craven Area Committee that the officers would be given a "project" to tackle problem areas, which have been highlighted by councillors.
