A KIND hearted Wrexham councillor had a tasty treat sent to police officers to thank them for their hard work.
Beverley Parry-Jones, county councillor for Bryn Cefn, sent several pizzas to Wrexham rural officers as a way of giving them a well-deserved pat on the back.
"Our NHS is doing a sterling job," she said. "But I think with all of the news coverage at the moment, our other two services are sometimes forgotten. "I felt the police are working in extremely difficult circumstances with equally limited resources.
"Not only are they carrying out their normal jobs - dealing with burglaries, assaults and everything else - they now have the added pressure of enforcing the coronavirus legislation announced by the Prime Minister last week.
"Like the fire service, police are going to people's homes and they might have covid-19.
"But they are still going in there and I feel they are putting themselves at risk just the same as the NHS. "At the end of the day they are human beings who have families at home who will be worrying about them and I just felt they needed a thank you."
Cllr Parry-Jones said she spoke with Wrexham rural inspector Darren Whibberley to arrange a good time for the treat.
At 6pm on Tuesday, a selection of pizzas from Saray Kebab House in Brynteg were delivered to North Wales Police's HQ in Llay, as well as Rhos Police Station.
"It went down really well," Cllr Parry-Jones said, before adding a call to residents. "Lets make everyone's lives as easy as they can be.
"Lets do what we have to and follow the Government's advice to keep each other safe.
"This is about everyone pulling together and working together as a community
"Last week we had the clap for the NHS and I believe that is being done again [on Thursday]. "I would also like to to encourage people to include the Police and Fire and Rescue Services in that applause.
"I really do think they deserve it."
