Oakwood Ward Panel Meetings

Are interested in helping solve community problems and joining a joint task force that makes a positive difference to residents in your area, If so would you consider joining your neighbourhood ward panel?

Every neighbourhood ward in London has a ward panel made up of local community members that meets with the ward Safer Neighbourhood Policing team four times a year. Meetings are held in person in the evenings at a local venue. 

At the ward panel meetings, members explain any community concerns, and the police provide information on crime, antisocial behaviour and their recent activity. The panel then sets the police team a minimum of two very specific priorities and actions to focus on in the ward and report back on at the next meeting. Meetings are also attended by the ward councillors, so that joint problem solving can be identified. 

The ward panel should be broadly representative of the ward. Members should live, work or study in the ward. They should be able to communicate community concerns to the police and share information widely in the community.
