Residents have claimed that police officers are getting out of their cars for a photograph and immediately leaving the area - before telling social media they actually patrolled it.
Last week, the Manchester Evening News reported that Stockport residents were beginning to get a sense of deja vu after police shared images of officers 'on patrol' along the same stretch of Rae Street 10 times since the start of 2022. While some Facebook users saw the funny side, others were critical.
Now, Coun Sheila Bailey says she has received complaints from residents who claim to have seen officers posing for a photograph before swiftly disappearing, on Rae Street as well as about half a dozen others in Edgeley. In an email seen by the M.E.N. , the Labour member on Stockport Council wrote to Greater Manchester Police chief constable Stephen Watson, sharing the concerns.
