Team Highlights

On 27 June 2025, the team visited Somerville Primary School at 9:00 AM for a Coffee Morning, covering:

Knife crime and personal safety

Exploitation awareness

Preparing for transition to secondary school

Career pathways in policing

Tackling racism and hate crime

We strongly believe early education builds safer futures for our young people.

Cuppa with a Coppa

We are just confirming the next cuppa with a coppa for July

Several key concerns were raised at our cuppa with a coppa raised last week:

Parking issues on Corbyn Road, with requests for warning notices to be issued where appropriate. A vehicle believed to have been abandoned for around four months, was highlighted for possible removal.

Concerns about auctioned vehicles being left on the road, some without tax or MOT, taking up valuable parking space.

Ongoing speeding concerns were raised, and we’ll be looking to arrange more Community Speed Watch sessions in the near future.

We spoke about Operation SNAP, WM NOW, and options for anonymous reporting, as some attendees preferred not to be seen reporting issues.

Virtual Drop-In Session

🖥️ Join us online for a Virtual Community Drop-In Session on Sunday, 29 July 2025, between 4–5 PM.
This is your chance to speak directly with local officers, raise concerns, ask questions, and hear updates — all from the comfort of your home.
(Link and access details to be shared via our social media and community channels.)

- A letter will be going out o residents of Frankton Grove on Saturday due to complaints of parking. However this is tight Grove and we would rather have a sensible solution that the residents agree with. As such we will host a meeting there to gather thoughts and agree on a plan moving forward
