The No 38 Service from Worcester to Royal Hospital will benefit from an improved service on weekends with one additional late evening trip on Saturdays. On Sundays we’re introducing an extra morning trip and an extra evening trip. Follow the Link to the Timetable https://www.firstbus.co.uk/…/node_images/38_X38_Web_1.pdf
We’ll be changing one PM peak trip on Mondays to Fridays in the afternoon from a 38 to a X38 to avoid delays around the Hospital loop and provide a more reliable service.

This report was submitted by PC Sly a member of our local policing team via Neighbourhood Matters alerts.
Despite the snow, I have tonight (Sat 4th Jan) conducted pro-active patrols around Warndon Villages into the very early hours due to reports of suspicious activity from unknown persons checking car doors and acting suspiciously in certain areas of the villages over the last week.
Fortunately, no illicit activity was identified and all vehicles encountered were legitimate.
I would like to take this opportunity to reassure residents that similar further patrols will be conducted throughout the winter and I ask that members of the public continue to report anything suspicious to the police so we can take action.
Always remember to lock your cars, do not leave any items on display and if you have CCTV or doorcams ensure they are operational, if able, to deter offending and capture any potential evidence.
Warndon SNT are here for you and can be contacted if you have any questions or concerns (please ensure all reporting of incidents is made to 101 or 999 where appropriate).
A very happy new year to you all,
Kind Regards,
PC 20380 SLY
(Police, PC, SNT Warndon)

On the beat in Warndon and Warndon Villages
Safer Neighbourhood Team December 2024
Cold Mornings
Although vehicle crime is low across West Mercia, every winter the force receives a number of reports from drivers who have had their cars stolen after leaving the engine running, while they wait in the warmth of their home for it to heat up and defrost the windscreen. Some vehicle owners nip inside for just a few seconds to collect a bag or finish the last mouthful of their breakfast coffee – but that’s all the time an opportunist thief needs.
To ‘freeze out’ the thieves, West Mercia Police advises motorists to:
• Clear windscreens with de-icer and a scraper
• Sit in vehicles while the heater de-mists the windscreen Drivers who ignore this advice are taking big risks.
Thieves will drive around residential areas looking for likely targets – when they spot a vehicle with its engine left running on a drive or outside a home, it’s there for the taking. One person will be dropped off, gets into the target vehicle and simply drives away. Many of the vehicles are never recovered, and some – especially high value models such as Mercedes, BMW and Audi – may be shipped overseas. It is also worth remembering if your car is stolen when keys have been left in it, you may find your insurance will not cover you. If your house keys are stolen along with your car, your home is then vulnerable too. So, this winter, don’t give criminals an easy ride by leaving your car running unattended.

We are working hard to tackle your parking concerns in and around Warndon and Warndon Villages.
Inconsiderate or illegal parking can put pedestrians and other road users in danger. It can also create an obstruction for emergency vehicles.
While some enforcement activity is carried out jointly with partners, (relevant local authority) employ parking enforcement officers to assist with these issues. But often problems can be resolved through raising awareness of the impact or consequences or other practical measures.
We have been:
• Talking to motorists and advising them of the law
• Liaising with council parking enforcement officers over local concerns
• Issuing Penalty Charge Notices (parking fines) to persistent offenders
• Working with partners to find alternative off-road parking opportunities, particularly near to schools.
You can find more information and guidance on parking concerns here: Parking issues and abandoned vehicles | West Mercia Police
For more information please contact me or PC Graysmark on 07971 395256 or
Many thanks for your help and support. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can effectively both prevent and detect crime and keep our communities safe.

In September 2021, Here2Help launched its Community Services Directory as part of its wider service to help residents search for a range of services and support offered by charities, community groups, businesses, public sector groups and other organisations in their local area and across the whole of Worcestershire. These services include mental health and wellbeing, financial advice, assistance and supplies, volunteering opportunities, recreation activities and much more.
Since its launch in September, over 275 organisations have signed up to offer support and services to Worcestershire residents. The Here2Help team have also been out visiting various libraries in the County to talk to residents about the Here2Help Service and the Community Services Directory.
Do you know any local organisations that may be interested in registering their service on the Here2Help Community Services Directory? More information can be found by visiting http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/here2help
