FOLLOWING on from the highly successful Blues n Zuz teenage discos run by Marlborough police, officers are about to launch the Blues on Twos.
That's what officers who will be carrying out bicycle patrols during the summer solstice celebrations in Avebury on June 21 are calling themselves.
The idea of having bicycle patrols was tested at the 2005 solstice gathering in Avebury.
PC Andy Sexton, who with PC Simon McLaren-Clark will be carrying out the patrols, said: "We tried it out last year and it was a fantastic success because we were able to hit the solstice people from a very community-based level."

Both officers are keen leisure cyclists so are looking forward to patrolling the solstice from their saddles.
This year the force is providing the pair with brand new Smith and Wesson all terrain bicycles, which are expected to arrive in Marlborough tomorrow.
