Your local bizzies will be available to chat to this afternoon. Why not go say Hello, hello, hello? Image from West Midlands Police.

Well, what do you know – there’s a neighbourhood police pop-up event taking place at the Parkview Centre in Brownhills later this afternoon (Friday 25th May 2018), from 3:00pm until 5:00pm.

A separate team will also be at the Spar store in Pelsall at the same time from 3:00pm -5:00pm this afternoon.

At these informal events, you can chat to the local policing team about stuff that concerns you, get crime prevention tips, WMNow signups and public safety advice.

I must say, it’s good to see the local police making such concerted efforts to reach out to the public.

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.
