Good Evening Resident

Chelmsley Team newsletter 19th Dec 2025

From school nativities to the bright lights of Birmingham, this week has been busy and very varied for me.

I had a lovely trip to Birmingham Dogs Home on behalf of our wonderful Cadets. Thank you for all your amazing donations and generosity.

Last night I was patrolling the German Market in Birmingham. Providing hi visibility reassurance to visitors and extra support to the local team during this very busy time. It was a wet evening but despite the rain there was plenty of joy & merriment to be had.

Today has seen me shaking my bells on the Town Centre with Streetwatch. After getting everyone’s attention with our noisy jingles we were able to get across important information about keeping your bank cards and purses safe whilst shopping.
