One of the main issues was lots of Drug dealing going on and the dealers are targeting students.

Girls that are residents at Townsend Gardens on Lodgehill Road will meet up with drug dealers on Lodgehill Road, once they have collected their drugs they will then go into the toilets at the Bear & Staff to take their drugs.

Halloween which falls on a Friday is going to be really busy in Selly Oak over that weekend.  PC Jones is looking at getting some funding to get extra Officers.

PCSO Jones has been in touch with the Guild and is awaiting a reply to see what the Guild have planned for the weekend.

CIRCO have asked if there is a possibility of having sniffer dogs present at their venue.  PC Jones will ask the question.  PC Jones mentioned to all Managers present if they want sniffer dogs to let PC Jones know as soon as possible as he must put a request in well in advance.

It was also mentioned that there is a male going around Selly Oak area playing loud music through a rather large speaker.

The Next Meeting is going to be held at CIRCO on 18th November 2025 at 11am.

We would also like to thank The Goose for holding the last meeting.
