The Love Your Community meetings – which some may know as Partners and Communities Together (PACT) meetings – give residents the chance to meet with representatives of Wolverhampton Police, the City of Wolverhampton Council, Wolverhampton's anti social behaviour team and more, and to share information about issues and positive activity in their neighbourhoods.
Councillor Jasbir Jaspal, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Adults and Wellbeing, said: "These meetings are an important forum for residents to meet with organisations and discuss the priorities for their neighbourhoods – and how we can all work together to deliver on these. Please come along to your next one to find out more."
Chief Superintendent Richard Fisher of Wolverhampton Police added: "The Love Your Community meetings are an integral part of the work of the neighbourhood police teams, community safety partners and local people to address concerns and issues in the community.
"Our aim is to be a local police service that is big enough to cope with everything that is asked of us, while showing we are small enough to care about the things that really matter to people, and we are committed to delivering a service that works for residents.
"These meetings provide an opportunity to outline clear shared ownership for local priorities and will build on the previous PACT meetings and increase collective care for what happens in our communities."
