He said he will operate an open door policy for the benefit of the entire residents of the council, adding that he will make sure residents always remained law abiding to constituted authorities.

“We will also ensure that there is that synergy between the police and the chief as well as other stakeholders, in order to curb criminal activities,” he said.
