Wandle is proud to serve and represent diverse communities, and we are horrified by the racist and violent incidents up and down the country, following the murders of three children in Southport.
We know that many of you will be concerned about reports in the news, on social media, or may have witnessed incidents in your local area.
Your safety is our top priority.
If you experience racist or violent anti-social behaviour, please report it to the police as soon as you can by dialling 999. When it is safe to do so, you should also report it to us.
Our phonelines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergencies, and between 8 am and 6pm, Monday to Friday, on 0300 2000 120.
Emergency repairs are attended within 4-hours of reporting, and we also have a 24-hour turnaround for offensive graffiti.
If for any reason there are delays to these, we’ll explain them to you, and the reason why, when you report.
