Neighbourhood Update

Hello Resident. I hope you’re doing well.

I am Police Community Support Officer Ben Priest here to give you the weekly Neighbour Hood Update.

What has our team been doing?

Our officers have attended St Francis Centre and Milebrook Hall for our monthly Cuppa with a Coppa, where we spoke to residents who attended and asked how things have been in the wider area of Bartley Green and if there is anything they wish to raise to us.

One of our local PCSO’s has seized a car for being stolen. This came after reports came to the Bartley Green neighbourhood team saying that a car has been freshly dumped on Offmore Road and has been parked suspiciously. Leading to our PCSO investigating the vehicle and discovering it to have been stolen a few days ago.

Upcoming events for November

Here you can find a list for our future community events with the following dates and times:

On 20/11/26 at 11:00-12:30 AM, our officers will be at Bartley Green Library on Adams Hill where you can come and speak to us about any concerns you may have.

What’s been occurring in Bartley Green

Since the last WMNOW message, we have received one report of fast parcels, where our team have worked with UK Border force to intercept a parcel full of Painkiller Tablets. 

Since the last WMNOW message, we have had one report of theft of motor vehicle. We advise that you double check that your car is locked and that all the windows are up fully so that no one can pry their way inside. We also advise that extra security features are installed such as a DISK lock, handbrake Lock or even a GPS tracking device.

We are still experiencing an increase of demand from across the area over the last few weeks, with more people calling and asking for help. Our staff work extremely hard to answer and respond to your calls and live chats. But due to the high demand it can cause callers to have to wait longer than they should, what is something neither of us want at all. We prioritize your enquires/calls based on how urgent they are, but we always appreciate that you want help as soon as possible.

In Non-emergencies circumstances, we want you to get in contact with us through the live web chat, or the Non-emergency telephone 101.

If your circumstances are emergencies, then please call 999.
