dippyhippy Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 No mention here of the contact points at Asda or The Hereford Academy, which Chris Chappel mentioned on another thread?? Also, do other areas get these news letters?? And if so, are they due out at the same time?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubique Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 From Dippy. Also, do other areas get these news letters?? And if so, are they due out at the same time?? For the last 10 years have lived 4 miles to the NW of Hereford - never had a newsletter from the SNT - in fact never seen a patrolling Police Officer or PCSO from WMP - the MOD Police do patrol the lanes at irregular intervals , suppose we are lucky in that respect . It's good that at least one SNT do a newsletter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippyhippy Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 So...I wonder how often these newsletters come out?? Perhaps you have to sign up to receive them via email?? They do seem like a good way of keeping folk informed of what has been happening in their local area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megilleland Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I get mine sent to me regularly, at least every two months, by e-mail. The Safer Neighbourhoods section on West Mercia Police website shows the areas with information on priorities and events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippyhippy Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Thanks for the link, Megilleland - I still couldn't find newsletters, or a link to sign up for one! I wouldn't want the Twitter or RSS updates, I don't do Twitter, and I don't know what an RSS feed is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelsgood Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 The West Mercia local area boundaries are bonkers - it splits Hereford City Northside and Southside - but south side covers some of the north and vice-versa and St James is covered by both! How is Joe Public supposed to know who to call - if there's an affray in Nelson St, for instance, it could be north or south, depending on which side of the road! And what if they cross over before the Police arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidfrustration Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 The West Mercia local area boundaries are bonkers - it splits Hereford City Northside and Southside - but south side covers some of the north and vice-versa and St James is covered by both!

And what if they cross over before the Police arrive? Well, if they cross over the line, i guess that set of police turn around and go home?.................................or maybe they will deal with the problem. Im pretty sure that a 999 call for a serious incident will get the response you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Chappell Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Local polic and CSOs often in front of ASDA, but not on a regular advertised way. The CSO based at The Hereford Academy is there for the students primarily. She hears the problems and worries of young people and their families and is doing a great job. Nothing new in this, happens in many secondary schools and colleges. The community police and CSOs are around all of the time in South Wye, sometimes on their bikes, sometimes in a car. They work closely with community groups and Councillors. In and out of the schools, community centres and arrears where people feel vulnerable, play areas and local shops.
