I received notice of another couple of useful late afternoon ‘Meet the public’ popup events via the excellent WMNow service a few days ago – one this coming Friday in Pelsall and another on Saturday 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 on Friday (Friday 13th October 2017) from 4pm-6pm and at MacDonalds, Rushall tomorrow (Saturday 14th October 2017) from 5pm-7pm.

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.

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.
