Met Commisioner's Live webchat Thursday 21st February

The Commissioner will be taking questions from the public during his next live webchat, which for the first time has a counter terrorism theme #AskMetBoss. (For those of you who do not use Twitter this is a way of marking messages for the Twitterati.)

To support the: 'It's probably nothing, but...' counter terrorism publicity campaign, the Commissioner will be joined by Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick on Thursday 21 February at 11am to take questions from Londoners. The campaign message is: "It's probably nothing, but if you see or hear anything that could be terrorist related, trust your instincts and call the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline. Our specially trained officers will take it from there. 0800 789 321 Your call could save lives."

The campaign, launching next week, encourages the public to come forward with any information which could help police counter the terrorist threat which we continue to face. The Commissioner and AC Cressida Dick will be on hand to answer any questions the public may have and discuss how they can best support police.

The webchats are part of the Commissioner's commitment to speak directly with members of the public to answer their questions on policing and find out their views. Apart from taking questions about the counter terrorism campaign the Commissioner will still be answering questions on other subjects from members of the public.

Join the webchat on Thursday 21 February at 11am http://www.met.police.uk/askmetboss/ 

For those unable to make the webchat you can pre-submit questions in advance via the comment box below or on Twitter using the hashtag #AskMetBoss. Follow us on Twitter @MetpoliceUK for more information.

Please do not use our comment box below. I think it means the comment box on the webpage above but I can't see one there. Someone has boobed.

Missed Waste collections Tuesday 22nd January

Message from the Bromley Webpage

Although our waste collection crews have tried to complete Monday and Tuesday's scheduled refuse and recycling collections, unfortunately, the weather conditions have prevented some collections taking place. If your scheduled Monday or Tuesday collection has been missed, please continue to leave your waste out for collection and we will attempt to collect it later in the week, ideally on Wednesday.  If only the paper collection has been missed, please leave this out for collection next week.

Normally, our collection crews 'push' and 'pull' two wheelie bins and collect both paper and food at the same time.  We regret that weather conditions have meant that our crews could not 'push' and 'pull' both collection bins.  Therefore food waste collections were prioritised, with paper collections being missed. We will update this message with additional information on Wednesday.

Therefore paper bins should be taken back in and brought out again as normal next week.

Oaktree Gardens Snow Buddies

This message from Ned McWhirter shows what can be achieved if everyone clears their own stretch of footpath.

Can you please pass on our thanks to all the snow buddies of Oaktree Gardens.  Before I left for work on Monday I cleared mine and the next door neighbours steps, but imagine my surprise when I came home to see a clear strip on the paving on both sides the whole length of the street enabling safe passage.
Great job well done and I would like to let them know that it made a big difference and very much appreciated.

It is a pity that so few other people seem to have left it for the council to clear the footways.
