Weekly update

Dear Resident,

Below is an overview from the team over the past week. 

What has our team been doing?

Last week officers on the Bartley Green Neighbourhood team have attended the monthly Cuppa with a Coppa Community events at Holloway Hall, St Francis Centre and Milebrook Hall. Residents raised concerns about speeding and anti social behaviour which officers are aware of and will continue investigate.

We also attended Bartley Green library speaking to residents there and held a careers fair at Woodgate Primary school informing students about police roles and what opportunities there are within the force.
