Attention has been paid by the neighbourhood team who are now working with the ‘All Saints Project’, Vicarage Road as well as ongoing work with Liz at The Den to divert young people into youth projects. The All Saints project has a football group on Monday nights.
Other updates
Another young person has been arrested for ‘tagging’ graffiti and has admitted offences in Vicarage Road, Stirchley and Kings Heath. He has agreed to take part in a graffiti clean up to be arranged in the new year.
The All Saints Project is a possible venue for an ‘art workshop’ which would be aimed at giving young people a place to practice graffiti art with advice and assistance from graffiti artists to develop and exhibit their work and discourage ‘street tagging’. This project is in the very early stages and will require planning and funding but if successful will hopefully be running next summer.
Anti Social Behaviour in All Saints Road
Sgt Knowles has had a very positive meeting with Mr Torrington the manager of Sainsburys. A security package proposal has been put forward for consideration of better secure gating at the rear of the car park, anti climb paint, fencing to prevent access to roof areas from the car park and a security camera at the rear. Mr Torrington is very committed to seeing this through. He has recently assigned a smoking area at the rear of the store for staff, who will be able to monitor any activity on the car park. He has also increased security patrols to four times a day and increased the times of the Euro Carpark attendants visits. He has offered support to the proposed ‘art workshop’ project and may be able to provide warehouse walls for practice.
Allens Croft School
Three persons arrested by neighbourhood team officers for breaking into the school and stealing workmens tools.

Plain clothes operation over two nights in Allens Croft and Stirchley areas resulted in an arrest for anti social behaviour in Reeves Road and a number of other encounters in both neighbourhoods.
