Civil Nuclear Constabulary patrols at Teesmouth

[Jamie]

As regular visitors to Teesmouth will be aware, police officers of the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) regularly conduct counter-terrorist patrols in the vicinity of Hartlepool Nuclear Power Station. They often stop members of the public and ask them to account for their presence, particularly if they are in the possession of cameras or optical equipment. Recently, on a number of occasions, officers have encountered people who have stated that they are members of the Teesmouth Bird Club and, whilst the police have no concerns over Club members' presence, they would like membership cards to be carried as proof of identity. The Chairman has given an undertaking to the CNC that he will make Club members aware of the situation and request them to carry their membership cards. Ted Parker (Chairman)
