Dear resident 

Hope you are all well and having a good start to your week. 

 

Here’s a quick roundup from your local policing team of some of the work we have been doing over the couple of weeks in the Blakenall/Leamore/Birchills and Beechdale area.

  • X2 stolen vehicles have been found and seized by Blakenall officers in the Essex Street and Forest Lane area of Bloxwich.
  • Community meeting held Birchills & Leamore- Richards House, Burrowes St, Walsall WS2 8NN. This is a meeting for residents ran by residents with local agencies in attendance. This meeting is one of 3 meetings which is ran in partnership with the local police team. We also have resident meetings set up in Blakenall and Beechdale. The meetings will be held every month. All dates and times can be found on Home | West Midlands Police.
