Grove Park Ward Panel Meeting 16/03/26 : Thu 16 Apr 19:00

Dear Residents of Grove Park,

Your local policing team invite you to join our next Ward Panel Meeting: 

Grove Park Ward Panel Meeting 16/03/26

Grove Park Community Centre, 268 Baring Road, SE12 0DS

What is a Ward Panel?

A Ward Panel is a community-led group where local residents meet regularly with our Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) made up of dedicated police officers and PCSOs assigned to your area, as well as local councillors. Chaired by a volunteer, the panel reviews local crime trends and discusses issues like antisocial behaviour, crime, or safety concerns. Together, we set priorities and action plans to address what matters most to you. Grove Park ward panel meetings happen every three months and all residents of Grove Park are welcome to attend. 

What We Aim to Achieve

The Ward Panel is your chance to:

Share your concerns and ideas to shape local policing priorities.

Collaborate with the police to tackle community issues.

Build trust and transparency through open dialogue.

Your voice matters! By attending, you’ll help ensure local policing reflects our community’s needs. No prior experience is needed—just a desire to make a difference.

***IMPORTANT***

We are currently looking for a permanent ward panel chair. This is a member of the community who chairs the meeting, making sure we stick to the agenda and don't spend too long on one topic. They help keep the structure of the meeting running smoothly, send out the minutes/ invites/admin to the meeting and to are a liaison between the local community and the local police Safer Neighbourhood Team. If you are interested in this role, please speak to one of the police officers at the ward panel meeting or get in touch with us. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
