here’s an August one. I’ve asked where the meeting is to be.

Perry Vale/Forest Hill Ward Panel Meeting : Thu 20 Aug 19:00

Dear Residents of Perry Vale,

Your local policing team invite you to join our next Ward Panel Meeting:

What is a Ward Panel?

A Ward Panel is a community-led group where local residents meet regularly with our Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) made up of dedicated police officers and PCSOs assigned to your area. Ideally chaired by a volunteer, the panel reviews local crime trends and discusses issues like antisocial behaviour, crime, or safety concerns. Together, we set priorities and action plans to address what matters most to you.

What We Aim to Achieve

The Ward Panel is your chance to:

Share your concerns and ideas to shape local policing priorities.

Collaborate with the police to tackle community issues.

Build trust and transparency through open dialogue.

Your voice matters! By attending, you’ll help ensure local policing reflects our community’s needs. No prior experience is needed—just a desire to make a difference.

Edit: it’s at St George’s in Vancouver Road.
