    Team Updates

    Community Engagement – Sultan Hall Meeting

    A recent community meeting was attended by our team, where residents raised several important local concerns:

     

  • Homelessness and drug use along Coventry Road
  • Footpath obstructions caused by shops and stalls displaying goods outside
  • Persistent fly-tipping and parking issues, particularly on Baker Street
  • Ongoing development of a new homeless shelter on 1 Baker Street aimed at supporting both men and women in need
  • Reports of long-standing, possibly abandoned vehicles in the area
  • Requests for more high-visibility patrols, especially around busy shopping areas

    •  

     

    We’ll continue working closely with residents and local organisations to address these issues.

     

    Operation NEXO

    This week, our team supported Operation NEXO at the local hospital—an initiative focused on reducing violence and aggression toward NHS staff and clinical teams.

    It was a great success, with very positive feedback from hospital staff, who appreciated our visibility and engagement. These efforts are part of our ongoing work to make healthcare environments safer for everyone.

     

    Cuppa with a Copper

    Today is a busy one as we host two ‘Cuppa with a Copper’ sessions. These are great opportunities to raise local concerns and chat with the team in a relaxed environment.
