Dear Resident,
Here’s a quick round up from me and the rest of the Oldbury Neighbourhood team.
Oldbury PCSOs have conducted a Speed Watch on Temple Way Oldbury with one of the local councillors. Thankfully everyone was abiding to the speed limit.
Oldbury NHT Officers have attended an Oldbury address today and successfully executed a search warrant.
Oldbury neighbourhood officers have been accompanied by local civil enforcement officers for a parking operation outside one of our primary schools. This is done, not to catch drivers out, but to keep our children safe coming in/out of school.
Oldbury neighbourhood PCSOs have been into Tipton Toddlers to talk to the children about People Who Help Us. Thank you to the staff for the invite, and great listening from the children. 👏

Oldbury PCSOs have been into Burnt Tree Primary School to deliver junior PCSO session. This week we spoke about Road Safety. Great listening by the children.
Oldbury PCSO’S have attended Brandhall Library for a question-and-answer session with the Knit and natter group. Most of the group are not on social media and enjoyed the session.
Oldbury PCSO along with Sandwell ASB and a local resident have teamed together completing a letter drop to residents of Lion Farm, highlighting how to report crime or anti-social behaviour.
Oldbury neighbourhood officers have attended Our Lady and St Hubert's Catholic Primary School Oldbury and met up with the chair of governors; this was after issues with parking. We do these patrols for the safety of all the children within the school.
Protect yourself from street robbery
Here are some useful ways to keep you and your property safe on the street. Look confident You are less likely to be targeted if you look confident. Move with purpose and try to be aware of your surroundings. Know where you’re going Plan your route and think about what to take with you, especially if you’re going somewhere, you haven’t been before. Keep to busy, well-lit streets, walkways and paths which are more likely to be covered by CCTV. Only take licensed taxis or minicabs booked by phone or a mobile phone app. Hide it Keep your mobile phone and valuables out of sight. If you’re using your phone, it’s more likely to be snatched from your hand as you’re not paying attention to your surroundings, so look around you. And never leave a mobile, any other device, wallet or purse on the table of an outdoor café, pub or restaurant. Same goes for any jewellery you might be wearing – keep it covered when walking down the street. Finally – and this is so important to remember – if you’re threatened with violence, don’t risk your personal safety. Property can be replaced, you can’t.
A big thanks to
