The following are the issues raised from our last neighbourhood meeting and what we are doing to tackle them:

. - Vacant allotment site - Dawberry Fields Road
What is happening to the vacant allotment site Dawberry Fields Road?
Councillor Summerfield is dealing with this matter and can answer any queries
. - Other Updates
*The Chief Constable has issued a press release in which he pledges to deal with anti social behaviour as a priority issue. Kings Heath OCU have introduced a new policy which will ensure officers attending to incidents of anti social behaviour will investigate them in the same way they investigate a crime. The neighbourhood teams will then use any evidence to look at short and long term solutions working with partner agencies such as Housing and BASBU. - Anti Social Behaviour Orders issued
The Brandwood Police Team together with BASBU have secured an Anti Social Behaviour Order against an individual who has caused much alarm and distress to residents in the Allens Croft, Kings Heath, Kings Norton, Druids Heath and Bournville areas by his persistent behaviour of sitting in his parked car in residential areas and outside schools for long periods giving the impression he was watching residents personal movements.

We would love to hear from you about any issues you think the police should be tackling in your community.
