Weekly Update - Back from Holiday and Ready to Assist

You may or may not have noticed the lack of messages from me, I have been away. I am now back and I have had a busy week.

First of all, with the clocks changing the dark nights are upon us. Oldington, Foley and Sutton Park SNT want you to be safe. Have lights when going out in the evening and wear reflective clothing. When on bikes, Scooters, skateboards, etc… wear helmets and lights. 

BE BRIGHT BE SEEN! 

I have been out with the teams and conducted some surveys in the community, I have managed to do surveys in two of our areas now. Feed back has been generally good with people feeling safe and its been lovely to chat to you all. If you have concerns in your area then please let me know and we might be able to survey your area as well. But remember you can always email into the team with your issues, be it Drug dealing / taking in the area or ASB you can let us know. But remember details are key tell us Dates, Times, Places and Names if you know. We will be more likely to be able to do something the more we know. ofpsp.snt@westmercia.police.uk

Today was the Remembrance Parade in Kidderminster Town. I have attended and helped out with some traffic control but got to see the parade and speak to the community in town. Always nice to speak to you when I can. If you attended I hope you had a good time. I hope everyone has had chance, if they wanted, to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.

We are doing a surgery for anyone to drop into a Kidderminster Hospital on Friday 14th November between 1pm and 2pm. 

I hope you have all had a good weekend and hope the coming week is filled with productivity, positivity, and a few pleasant surprises along the way.

I will see you all when I am back on THURSDAY 13TH NOVEMBER 2025.

I will leave you with an interesting fact: The red poppy became a symbol of remembrance thanks to the poem In Flanders Fields by John McCrae. The flower grew on the battlefields of WWI and now represents the sacrifice of those who died in war
