A community football coach from Crystal Palace Football Club has been presented with an award by police.

Clayton Renwrick, who has worked the club for three years as a community football coach, received his Safer Bromley Partnership Award from Sergeant Rob Goodwin, head of the Penge and Cator Safer Neighbourhood Team.

Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, Mr Renwrick coaches up to 60 youngsters on Penge recreation ground.

Sgt Goodwin, who nominated Mr Renwrick for the award, said: "Whereas in some parts of London, serious street violence has been in the news almost on a weekly basis, in Bromley this has thankfully not been the case.

"The scheme that Clayton Renwrick operates brings happiness and safety to those who participate."

Congratulations to Clayton and his fellow staff within our own community trust who work together for a safer community.
