Keeping our borough safe during the Olympics
Residents and businesses in Richmond upon Thames and Kingston are invited to attend a public meeting next week looking at the London-wide approach to policing during the Olympics.
Commander Bob Broadhurst, responsible for overseeing the Capital’s policing strategy during the 2012 games, is hosting an event on the 8 February at the Harlequins Rugby Ground in Twickenham.
The event has been organised by the Community and Police Partnerships in Richmond and Kingston to reassure residents that both boroughs will be safe during the Games.
Cllr Pamela Fleming, Richmond Council Cabinet Member for Community, Business and Culture, said:
“Richmond Council is working closely with the Police and Olympic organisers to ensure a safe and secure Games, which everyone can enjoy.
“Commander Bob Broadhurst is responsible for the policing across the Capital this summer. His aim is to ensure that everyone can share in and celebrate the events safely, causing minimal disruption to daily life in London.”
Chief Superintendent Clive Chalk, Borough Commander for Richmond upon Thames added:
“The UK has an excellent track record of regularly hosting and policing major events safely and securely. But we know that many people are concerned.
“This event will be a good opportunity for members of the public and local businesses to come along and ask Commander Broadhurst any questions or concerns that they might have regarding community safety or policing during this time.”
The event is on the 8 February at 7pm at The Members Clubhouse, North Stand, Twickenham Stoop, Langhorn Drive (Harlequins Stadium).
