Welcome to St Marychurch

Your Beat Manager

I am PC Lee Metherell, your Neighbourhood beat manager. I have been in this role since May 09, and prior to that a response officer for 8 years. I transferred to the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary 4 years ago from Thames Valley Police where I served in Reading Central for 4 years. I was born and raised in Torquay and spent the majority of my younger years in Babbacombe and St Marychurch.

I very much look forward to meeting you and working with partnerships and agencies available to me, along with Kathryn and Daniel your Police Community Support Officers.

Please do not hesitate to contact Kath, Dan or myself should you wish to raise any issues.

About Your Neighbourhood

The patch area covers St Marychurch, Babbacombe and Plainmoor. The St Marychurch part of the patch includes the outlying village of Maidencombe and the coastline north of Torquay out to Labrador Bay car park. I cover the whole coastline between there and Walls Hill in Babbacombe. This includes the beaches at Maidencombe, Watcombe, Petit Tor, Oddicombe and Babbacombe as well as Babbacombe Downs. The area contains two large secondary schools, St Cuthbert Mayne and Westlands and five primary schools. It also covers Plainmoor football ground and the shopping areas of Reddenhill Road, St Marychurch Road and St Marychurch Precinct. There are twenty-seven licensed premises. The residential areas are a mixture of privately owned and privately rented housing with some smaller areas of housing association rented homes. The Babbacombe area also includes a number of larger houses that have been converted to nursing homes and flats as well as some larger hotels.
