This was brought to the Oxford Road NAG (Neighbourhood Action Group) on Tuesday. Please read and share:
'The Thames Valley Police non-emergency number is due to change. On 14th
November 2011 the new number will be 101. This is the new national
single non-emergency number and replaces the 0845 8 505 505 number. Both
numbers will run side by side until the end of March 2012, but if
demand for the 0845 8 505 505 number drops it may be discontinued
earlier.
How will it work?
When you call 101, the system
will determine your location and connect you to the police force
covering that area. A recorded message will announce which police force
you are being connected to. If you are on a boundary between two or more
forces, the recorded message will give you a choice of which force to
be connected to.
Police call handlers will then answer the calls
and respond appropriately. You will not be put through to a large
national call centre.
Calls to 101 (from both landlines and mobile networks) cost 15 pence per call, no
matter what time of day the call is made, or the duration of the call.'
Welcome to my blog. I am using it to keep you updated on my work as a councillor for Battle ward, Chair of the Art and Heritage forum and an activist for Unite the Union. I cover the issues affecting Battle ward and Reading residents. There may also be the occasional random post about things I am interested in.
