At: Christ Church, Purley, 859-887 Brighton Road, CR8 2BN

When: 06 July 2026 18:30 – 20:00 hrs

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.
