I received notice of another couple of useful ‘Meet the public’ popup events via the excellent WMNow service a few days ago – one tonight in Pelsall and another tomorrow in Rushall – these are great initiatives where you can meet your local policing team and get help, crime prevention and public safety advice.

The events will be at the Spar shop in Pelsall this evening (Wednesday 2nd August 2017) from 6pm-8pm and at MacDonalds, Rushall tomorrow (Thursday 3rd August 2017) from 7pm-9pm.

Since Pelsall, Rushall and Brownhills share the same policing team, this is a good chance for anyone from our area to meet the local policing team.

I must say, it’s good to see the local police making continuous efforts to reach out to the public. Long overdue.

Pop-up-stall @ Spar Pelsall 18:00 hours to 20:00 hours, on Wednesday 2nd August 2017. WMNow sign up. #Walsallsummer.

Also, if you haven’t signed up for WMNow, please do – it’s free and you can select to receive alerts on all kinds of local issues. It’s a fine thing.
