Stay informed on the latest safety and community issues in St Katharine’s and Wapping.
New Police Leadership: We welcome Sgt Darren Bond, our new SNT lead. While we bid a fond farewell to PC Dove and PC Wells in February, a new officer joins the team this November to maintain our "Gold Standard" status.
