Welcome to your Bolton North neighbourhood pages.

I am Sergeant Zach Keneally and have management of neighbourhood policing for Astley Bridge, Bradshaw, Breightmet, Bromley Cross and Crompton.

I joined Greater Manchester Police as a police cadet in 2012, having always wanted to be a police officer. In 2014, I started as an apprentice Operational Support Officer and a Special Constable working within the neighbourhood team at Astley Bridge Police Station. From here, I applied to join as a Police Constable and started this role in 2016.

For the first couple of years, I worked as an initial response officer attending 999 calls. In 2018, I started a new role as the neighbourhood police officer for Breightmet. I remained in this role for a couple of years, before being promoted to a Sergeant and moving back to the initial response team.

I have always enjoyed neighbourhood policing and working to resolve the issues that affect our communities, so in June 2023, I joined the neighbourhood team at Astley Bridge Police Station as a Sergeant.

Having worked in Bolton for all of my career, I have a genuine passion for making Bolton North a desirable and safe place to live and work. My team and I will work hard with our partners to resolve the issues that the community tell affect them the most. We take pride in our work and if an issue is affecting our community, it is affecting us.

On these pages, you will find priorities in our areas that we continue to work on. We will update these priorities with the action we have taken to remedy them.

We can’t do this without you, so we have launched an alert system called Bee in the Loop, which will enable us to contact you directly about these priorities. It will also enable you to speak to officers on the ground, where you live, so you can tell us what matters most to you.

You can sign up at www.beeintheloop.co.uk.

If this isn’t for you, you can also see our scheduled meetings. You will get to speak to an officer directly.
