O&W Community Safety

We're at @Oadby_Wigston today with @LPOadbyWigston and @LeicsPCC team for the #SaferStreets event giving out free home security upgrades. Public session runs 1pm-6pm with details on images below.

Today we're holding our first ever 'Horizon Scanning Event', discussing strategy, common themes, trends, and multi-agency approaches for tracking crime and disorder in @Oadby_Wigston. Partners include @LPOadbyWigston @LeicsCountyHall @LeicsPCC @VR_Network @SoftTouchArts

Don’t block your exits with charging batteries or e-bikes and e-scooters. If a fire breaks out, you won’t be able to safely leave your home. Never leave your battery to charge when you are out or whilst you sleep! #ChargeSafe Learn more: leics-fire.gov.uk/your-safety/at…

The #PCC has been touring #SouthWigston with @Oadby_Wigston to look at ASB hotspots and learn what the Community Safety Partnership is doing to combat the problems. #MakeOurStreetsSafeAgain #MOSSA #BecausePeopleMatter #CommissionerInTheCommunity

Whilst in @Oadby_Wigston this morning we've seen cars driving around still covered in snow, especially on roofs and around lights. This is dangerous as it obscures indicators and could, as your car warms, lead to snow covering your windscreen whilst driving. Clear thoroughly!
