Weekly round-up from your local Neighbourhood Team

Dear Residents 

An update from your local Sherbourne Police Team. 

STREETWATCH

We add this information to the message service each week, however, we are now actively looking for Street watch volunteers who would like to join us in a regular patrol of your community. The patrol can be for as long as you are available for on a day of your choosing and is a proactive way of noticing things that need attention where you live. It is also a good way of meeting other residents that want to make a difference in their communities.

GET INVOLVED

Street watch is a community patrol initiative that helps you make a difference where you live. Street watch gives you and your community an opportunity to keep your area safe, including just walking round your neighbourhood, which can really help. Local police keep in regular contact with street watch members to share information and work in partnership with you. You will also be patrolling with your local PCSO’s once a month. 

If you are interested in taking part in a Street watch within the Sherbourne area you can contact the Holbrook, Radford, Sherbourne & Bablake team on holbrookandradford@westmidlands.police.uk

WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING 

OP Advance has been active this week across the force area. Locally, Officers have been involved with speed watches at locations that the community have told us there’s a problem. 

Elsewhere in the neighbourhood, officers have been removing untaxed vehicles and vehicles that are not fit to be driven on the road. 

The neighbourhood forum was last week. Residents who attended raised concerns about speeding and anti-social behaviour, which will be looked into and actioned by the neighbourhood team. 

We will be organising another forum in the new year and will advertise when this will be. 

CRIME UPDATE 

A burglary has been reported in Cole Court. Offenders gained access through the rear door and items were stolen. 

A white Nissan Pick up has been stolen from Denbigh Avenue. The vehicle was parked on the road side.
