Eid Ul Adha will fall on Friday 31st July and is a day that will be celeb- rated by Muslims worldwide. I firstly want to take the opportunity to wish the Muslim communities of Hall Green Constituency an early EID Mubarak and hope you are able to find the time to celebrate with your families.
As we know, things are that little bit more difficult this year with Covid still restricting some of the things we all used to do and take for granted. This brings me to the evening before EID ,in this case Thursday 30th July. I am conscious that people may want to come and visit the Ladypool Road area for family celebrations and to eat out. West Midlands Police wants to support this as long as Covid guidelines are being adhered to.
What we have seen though , is Anti Social behaviour and noise levels that do impact on the local community. Typically this involves cars and younger people who come to the area revving engines and blowing horns into the early hours. This is an activity that we would urge the commu- nity to refrain from. It does cross the line of Anti Social behaviour and impacts the lives of the local community that include the elderly and young children.
I would urge people not to celebrate in this particular way and refrain from attending the Ladypool Road area in cars with the sole intention of making noise and driving in an anti social manner.
I have planned the policing operation for the area for the evening which will include police ANPR operations and officers on duty until the early hours of the morning to deal with this problem should it arise.
We do want people to enjoy themselves, but Anti Social behaviour cannot be tolerated.
Thankyou
