Good morning Resident
For those that don't know I have taken over from Amanda Knight as the NHW coordinator for Merton Council, My full title is Community Resilience Officer. Alongside NHW I also work on Hate Crime and prevent. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
I have finally joined the Alert system so hopefully you will be hearing a lot more from me as we plan to improve Merton NHW over the coming months. If you are on both systems then I apologise for the double email this morning, we are trying to iron out all these problems. For those waiting to be verified as a coordinator again, I know I've said the same thing but it will all happen soon. It's a complicated system to understand ad Alerts I.T. helpline are finding out with all my questions. Please contact me at any time as I previously mentioned and hopefully enjoy the weekly update.
I hope you all have that Friday feeling and have an exciting weekend ahead.
Neighbourhood Wardens Some great news from our Neighbourhood Wardens last weekend, doing a fantastic job looking after Merton.
Merton councils Neighbourhood Wardens conducted a joint operation last weekend in Morden high street, alongside our talented CCTV colleagues with the superb support of Mitie security and local SNT police. The operation tackled shoplifting and the wardens worked in partnership with local store managers to stop shop lifters, issue them with banning orders and took a robust approach in starting prosecution action . The operation was successful and resulted in multiple arrests and ultimately saved businesses hundreds of pounds due to their goods being returned. We are looking at conducting these operations regularly within our town centres to help keep our businesses and our communities safe.
