I think you will find that most areas that have neighbourhood policing will argue that non-urgent matters should be dealt with by the Safer Neighbourhood Teams. Urgent matters are 999 matters.
The SNTs know the areas, and can follow up issues more quickly and directly. In Bromley they also maintain contacts with other members of the Safer Neighbourhood Partnership (i.e. the Council, Fire Service etc.). If residents have ongoing problems they can bring them up at SN panel meetings.
Everyone should have the number of their local SNT, or be able to get it. Not as easy as 101 but probably more responsive!

Hi John,I get the impression from http://www.101.gov.uk/101- areas/index. html that it is only a pilot thing in a few areas of the country, and sadly looking likeit may tail off if funding continues to be pulled.Rgds, Dave-----Original Message-----
