Local police are now online
Just a quick post to remind residents that our Neighbourhood Police Team have a very useful webpage, which you can access here.
The page includes contact details for the officers covering each of the neighbourhoods within the ward, together with local news and other useful info.
You can also follow the team’s day to day work across the area on Twitter: @ShardEndPolice.
Quad bikes: the police need your help!
The misuse of quad bikes is one of the main issues that residents across the ward are raising with me at the moment. There are real and understandable concerns over dangerous driving our streets and the abuse of some of our open spaces.
The police can and will act to deal with these problems, but of course they need evidence about who the owners and perpetrators are in order to do so. We can all help them by passing on any information about properties where these bikes are kept and the identities of those involved. I regularly pass them details that come to my attention and am also happy to do so on behalf of other local residents. Alternatively, you can pass information directly to the police via the new, non-emergency telephone number, 101.
