Alvechurch and Wythall SNT Newsletter Moving to Quarterly Publication

Dear Resident

Residents across Alvechurch, Wythall and surrounding communities are being advised of a forthcoming change to the publication schedule of the Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) newsletter.

Previously issued on a monthly basis, the Alvechurch and Wythall SNT newsletter will now be produced quarterly. This change is intended to ensure that each edition provides a more comprehensive overview of policing activity, community engagement, and key developments across the area.

The newsletter has historically been used to keep residents informed about the work of the local policing team, including updates on local priorities, community concerns, and initiatives undertaken to address them. Each edition has also included crime prevention advice, event information, and summaries of recent activity.

Despite this change in frequency, the Safer Neighbourhood Team would like to reassure residents that there will be no reduction in the level of communication with the public.

Continued Updates via Neighbourhood Matters

Members of the public will continue to receive regular updates through the Neighbourhood Matters Community Messaging Service, which remains the primary platform for sharing timely information.

Through Neighbourhood Matters, the team will continue to provide:

These updates will be shared on an ad-hoc basis, ensuring that residents are kept informed as and when relevant information becomes available, rather than waiting for the next newsletter publication.

The Neighbourhood Matters service allows residents, businesses and community groups to stay directly connected with their local policing teams.

Access to Crime Data and Police Statistics

Residents wishing to view crime figures and policing data can continue to do so online at any time.

Up-to-date information on crime trends and statistics can be accessed via:

These platforms provide transparent and detailed information about crime in your area, helping residents stay informed and aware of local issues.

Keeping Communities Informed

The Alvechurch and Wythall Safer Neighbourhood Team remains committed to maintaining strong communication with the community and ensuring that residents are kept informed, engaged, and supported.

The move to a quarterly newsletter is designed to enhance the quality and depth of information provided, while continuing to utilise digital channels to deliver timely updates and alerts throughout the year.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
