Things are getting busy in Patcham and Hollingbury.  

A couple of things to mention in this news alert.  

We have seen a speight of garden furniture thefts in the Westdene and Patcham area. Please bear in mind as the evenings get lighter. Where possible keep your furniture secure or out of sight if possible. 

We have been made aware of a suspicious van which has been seen in the area. The van has European number plates. It has been seen to pay particular attention to people’s gardens however it has not been seen to have committed any offences yet.  

We are aware of this vehicle and have the VRM. Rest assured we are paying close attention to it. 

If you do see the vehicle in the area acting suspiciously, please give us a call.  

There was a serious crash on Braybon Avenue in the early hours of Sunday morning last week.  

A young male remains in critical condition and a police investigation continues.  

We are very aware that residents have found this particularly distressing and will continue to support and reassure residents as much as possible.
