Police Non Urgent Number

• It's 101 for London's police

Please note the old Police Non Urgent Number - 0300 123 1212 will shortly be withdrawn from service.

As latest figures reveal that less than a quarter of 999 calls require an emergency response, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), together with other police forces in the south east is today, Monday 11 July, launching a new contact number for the public.

The new number, 101, is part of a national programme to improve access and will give the public one easy way to get in touch with the police for calls that do not require an urgent response. For example, the public should call 101 to report a crime that has already happened, seek crime prevention advice or make us aware of local policing issues.

It is being introduced to improve access to the police, ease pressure on 999 and to help tackle crime and disorder. In London the new number is just one of the ways the Metropolitan Police Service is modernising and improving our services while making them more accessible to the public.

3 Notice Boards now open for Business

JusB reaches its Target

£25K target reached – means key youth charity can survive

Bromley charity JusB who faced closure at the beginning of this year is very pleased to announce that it has reached its target of raising £25,000 before the end of June. Raising this sum before the deadline ensures that it will be matched pound for pound by a generous donor, Roger Paice. JusB staff have worked exceptionally hard to ensure that the target was achieved, but it would not have been possible without the support of groups and individuals who have been very generous in their giving.

Request for local views

I would like to make a Gallery of pictures of the Ward so if you have any photo's old or new that show your Rd or Park or Buildings of note, please email them to me pandsp.snp@gmail.com - please ensure that they are sent in as large a format as possible and that they are labeled as to what or where they depict.

Thanks for your help

This is the 1st Post for Plaistow and Sundridge Park Safer Neighbourhood Panel Blog!

It was mentioned that maybe we should have a website so in light of the current spirit of austerity we have produced a "Blog"! lets see how it works out. As you will appreciate this is very much "under construction" at the moment. so any input will be very welcome. If you know of any internet web addresses that you find useful locally please email them to pandsp.snp@gmail.com  (or post a comment below) so that we can share them out

The idea for a Community day in the Park during next years Olympics seems to be getting good support so we would appreciate organisations signing up to the idea and then we will be able to create a driving committee to get the event off the ground. It is intended that this should be an opportunity for the Community to get together and appreciate what is available to them locally, so everybody has a reason to be involved in some way! Please email us at pandsp.snp@gmail.com (or post a comment below) if you wish to be involved in any way. Thanks in advance!

As you are aware the Government is cutting budgets everywhere and the Safer Neighbourhood Teams are no exception, it seems that the intention is to reduce the number of Sergeants (we have one leading each Ward Team at present) meaning that some will have to run 2 Ward Teams, but also that they will all have to reapply for their jobs anyway. We feel this is a backward step as, from our experience in the past, experienced Sergeants make a huge difference to the effectiveness of the Teams' performance. We are also aware that in the immediate future we will have the Olympics when the Police will be heavily stretched. This is not  a Bromley issue but has been "foisted" upon them by higher powers, our Borough Commander has frequently said what a success "Safer Neighbourhood Policing" has been.

You may have seen some new Notice Boards appearing around the ward, these are intended as Community notice boards and have been installed by the council for our use. The intention is that they will be used to keep us all advised of useful contact details and for community notices - not commercial, so if you have something to publicise, let us know on that email address pandsp.snp@gmail.com (or post a comment below).

Thanks for reading this - go safely!
