Hello, Goodbye

Out with the old, in with the new.

Police Officers move around. Generally they will do a 2 or 3 year stint in a job before moving on. Why they do this I don’t know, but they do. So, Sergeant Chris Chandler and PCs Mick Mooney and Adam Taylor are all time expired on Fullwell Ward Safer Neighbourhood Team. They are being re-posted as from April 2009 to the far flung outpost of next door Fairlop Ward. The 3 PCSOs, Imran Mahmood, Cat Slade, and Darrell Joseph have asked to go with them, bless.

The boundary between Fullwell and Fairlop wards runs down the middle of Barkingside High Street but the Fullwell SNT has for the last three years taken responsibility for both sides. This will now transfer to Fairlop SNT, who are the former Fullwell SNT, so a bit of continuity there for the traders.

Fullwell Ward will be greeting Andy Hobson, an experienced SNT sergeant but only recently appointed to Fairlop Ward, as well as the two present Fairlop PCs Adrian Towler and Rob Kirk along with the two existing PCSOs, Mark Rowe and Kabir Rathor, and a vacancy.

We wish Chris and his team a successful tenure as our neighbours and thank them for all the efforts over the past 3 years. They are of course welcome to pop in to our coffee mornings any time.

We welcome Andy and his team to Fullwell and look forward to an equally successful period.

All change, ting ting!
