Advice for domestic abuse victims

VICTIMS of domestic abuse can get advice at a new council-run service.

Dartford Council is holding a "domestic abuse one-stop-shop" every Tuesday.

It will be held in the Citizen's Advice Bureau at the Trinity Resource Centre in Dartford High Street between 9.30am and noon.

Free advice on domestic abuse issues is available from the council, police, charity Women's Aid and solicitors Neves Scott Brand.

Dartford Council portfolio holder for housing services Councillor Pat Coleman said: "The one- stop-shop gives people an opportunity to find answers to all the questions they may have to help them rebuild their lives after domestic abuse.

"I would urge anybody suffering from domestic abuse to come forward and see what help is available to them."

A national 24-hour domestic abuse information line is available on 0845 603 6813.
