ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR AT ST.CHAD'S CHURCH GROUNDS

As many of you are aware, recently we have had a gang of youths engaging in antisocial behaviour and hanging around the old school building and social club.
They have broken in and caused lots of wilful damage to the old school building and also caused damage to the social club roof.
On Sunday, 17 March 2024, a gang of youths assaulted two people in Sedgley Town Centre.
Therefore, for your safety, we are advising parishioners not to approach them if you see them on our premises, but to report any issues to the police, please.

IN AN EMERGENCY PHONE 999 ▬ TO REPORT ALL OTHER ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR ON OUR CHURCH PREMISES PHONE 101

Always ask for a "Crime Number" at the end of your call to the police and pass it on to:

Eileen, our Parish Office Administrator - Tel: 01902 882215, for our office records

Thank you for your vigilance and support.
