Bradley Ward PACT Meeting

AT a resent PACT meeting (Police And Communities Together) that I attended, the general public that were there felt that while we live in a very safe and low crime area we still have to suffer Anti-Social crimes from Dog Fowling to cars speeding around the estate and inconsiderate parking.
You may have noticed our PCSO walking around our roads, in fact, you may hopefully have spoken to him, he is doing his best to deal with the small amount of problems we have, which as I say are not many but if we can reduce the small number of Anti-Social crimes then we will alleviate the very very small amount of minor crimes, but we need your help. 
If you see any thing then please report it, you can ring the Police on 08452777444 non urgent, remember 999 is for Urgent and Emergency calls only, and someone will get back to you. or you can contact me by going to the link "Fix My Street" on this blog page, and leaving me a message.
Remeber we all live in this area and we all need to respect it for I can't think of a better place to live.
