A NEW support service for women who are attacked by their partners will be launched in West Bridgford in the new year.
The drop-in centre will be run by Rushcliffe Borough Council's Community Safety Team and will be held in a central location in the town.
The team already runs drop-in centres for female victims of domestic violence in Bingham and Keyworth.
The thinking is that having a centre in such a central location would give more women from West Bridgford and outlying villages the chance to get help because many already go to the town for shopping and to visit the bank.
The Community Safety Team has no connection to the police.
The drop-in sessions are only for women but the team can provide advice for male victims of domestic violence.
A project called the Freedom programme, which highlights the situations women can face living with abuse, including the effect on children, will be introduced in Bingham in January. There are plans to run these sessions in the evenings in summer for women in West Bridgford.
To find out more about the drop-in sessions, call 0777 1690 411.
