A message forwarded from Graham Syrett of Redland and Cotham Neighbourhood Watch:
Dear folks
I appreciate that a Saturday ten days before Christmas may prove to be a busy time but please, if at all possible, do come along to a meeting organised by our local community policemen in St Matthew’s Church Hall at 2 pm on Saturday 15th December. We will keep the meeting to one hour, although there will be a further hour for those who want to stay on longer to chat with our local police about further concerns or issues.
The meeting will highlight current crime problems in our area, crime trends, future intitiatives and tips on keeping safe. There will also obviously be time for people to ask questions and raise concerns.
Many thanks, and a very and crime-free Happy Christmas to you all!!
