🚔In Walmley village, a Community Protection Notice (CPN) has been issued to an aggressive beggar. A CPN is a formal notice used to address persistent anti-social behaviour that is having a detrimental effect on the quality of life of the local community. In this case, it provides clear conditions around the behaviour expected and gives police and partner agencies further enforcement options if those conditions are breached. This is an important step in tackling repeated aggressive begging and the impact it can have on residents, businesses and visitors

👁️‍🗨️ StreetWatch:

We have been conducting patrols alongside the well established Walmley StreetWatch groups over the past few weeks. These have been a great opportunity to speak with residents and understand some of the issues affecting the community. We are looking to build the StreetWatch presence in Wylde Green and other areas of New Hall neighbourhood, so we welcome any interest! StreetWatch is volunteer led, and they only ask for 1 hour of your time each month. Maybe you are already part of a local messaging group, and would be interested in evolving your group to work with us? 🤝
