Issues within Patcham and Hollilngbury: 

There have been reports of youths causing issues on Old London Road, Patcham, particularly within the Co-op and surrounding areas. 

Tillie and I have increased our patrols and have been able to maintain a visible presence. 

After working with partner agencies, we have been able to identify the group and will be looking to deal with the culprits accordingly. 

 Monthly Ward Meetings: 

As part of the neighbourhood policing guarantee, the government has allocated more time to ward officers to be actively visible in their wards. With this important news, monthly community meetings will continue to be held at the Old Boat Community Centre. Next months will be held on Tuesday 3rd February. 

This is a chance for members of the public to share any concerns or issues that they may have in the ward.
