I am Police Sergeant Ron Price and I am the new supervisor for Tettenhall Regis, Tettenhall Wightwick, Penn and Merry Hill with 4 Police Constables and 8 Police Community Support Officers.

I’d like to take this opportunity to inform you of some local changes that we are making to policing in Wolverhampton and how these are likely to affect you, and also to reaffirm our commitment to continue to deliver and improve the service we provide in the future.

Significant improvements in local policing are shown below: - Confidence in policing has increased from 79.7% to 87.9% - Satisfaction with our service around crime has increased to 86.7% - Satisfaction with our service around Anti-Social Behaviour has increased to 82.5% - We respond to 92% of calls for service that require an immediate response within 15 minutes - We respond to 91% of calls for service that require an early response within 1 hour - Crime has fallen and between April 2014 to March 2015 there were 24 fewer victims of burglary; 57 fewer victims of robbery; 174 fewer victims of vehicle crime and we also experienced a 12% reduction in criminal damage offences.

However, against the backdrop of this encouraging performance, we continue to face the challenges from shrinking resources and have had to make some changes to our local policing teams. These local changes will ensure that we can continue to respond quickly to people in an emergency whilst focussing our neighbourhood policing teams in the areas that generate the greatest demand for our service.

I am confident that the changes we have made will ensure that Wolverhampton Local Policing Unit continues to deliver the highest levels of service to its communities.

I will start with the basics of how you can get in touch with us. You can contact us in various ways: Email us: wv_nhp_tettenhall@west-midlands.pnn.police.uk Telephone: 101 ext 871 6009 Follow us on Twitter: @OxleyTettenhall Follow us on Facebook : Wolverhampton Police Facebook Remember call 101 in a non- emergency and 999 in an emergency.

The Inner Wheel organisation was originally formed by wives of Rotarians to support the work of their Rotarian husbands. It is an all female organisation and membership is open to female relatives of Rotarians or former Rotarians, Inner Wheel members and Rotaract.

Inner Wheel aims to promote true friendship, encourage the ideals of personal service and to foster international understanding.

The Tettenhall Inner Wheel had a very successful year last year and recently made a presentation to Compton Hospice for ÂŁ2,000 with which they have purchased new crockery and cutlery for their patients. We also made a generous donation to the MS Therapy Centre at Newbridge.

We are now about to embark on a new year for the Club and at our AGM last week the photo shows Past President Mrs Linda Cook handing over the chain of office to Mrs Alison Kraushar who will be assisted by Mrs Jo Hill.

We are, of course, looking forward to another year where we will be raising funds for local charities.

PGA Golf Tips from Jeremy Nicholls at South Staffs Golf Club Academy.....

Pitch Shots Around the Green Set Up: Thinning the ball on pitch shots comes from swinging up at impact (scooping). Creating the angle and maintaining the angle are important to improve consistency with your pitch shots. Start with 60% of your weight on your front foot this will encourage you to hit down on the ball, position the ball in the middle of your stance. Now you’re set up to catch the ball with a solid descending strike.

Swing: Get the club up in the backswing by hinging your wrists. Keep your weight forward throughout the swing.

Have the feeling of hitting the pitch shot with the back of your left hand, the club’s loft will do the work of getting the ball into the air.

Never let the club head get behind your body on a pitch shot. A common mistake is pulling the club quickly to the inside, which makes it hard to hit down on the ball.

Swing the club head back and up, don’t let it sweep low and inside.

Hopefully this will improve your pitch shots around the green.
