Royal Docks to welcome emergency
services
July 23, 2008
People of all ages can tour the inside of
an ambulance and meet their local police officers and fire-fighters
at a free Royal Docks community forum safety event.
Respect your emergency services is on Saturday, August 2
from 11am to 3pm at Britannia Village Green, Silvertown.
This is an opportunity for people to find out about the work of
our emergency teams, including the Metropolitan Police, London
Ambulance Service and the Fire Service.
Community lead councillor for Royal Docks, Pat Murphy, said: "Our
emergency teams do an honourable job. This event is an ideal chance
for people to ask questions and get advice from the experts."
At the event people can meet the Royal Docks Safer Neighbourhoods
Police Team and get information about Neighbourhood Watch.
Fight for Peace Academy, which runs a violence prevention
programme for young people, will do a martial arts and boxing
demonstration and also teach people a few moves.
Children can bring their bicycle for a free safety check by Bike
Works and enjoy fun activities including inflatable sports games, a
bouncy castle and face painting.
Royal Docks community forum is one of nine forums in Newham
working to make each area a safer, healthier and more interesting
place to live.
