- urgent - messages about major emergencies affecting the borough

- crime alerts and appeals – helping police with their investigations

- public health and advice – health tips and alerts

- safer communities and fire prevention – crime patterns and fire prevention advice

 

Cllr Greg Smith, cabinet member for crime and anti-social behaviour, said: “I’m delighted that Hammersmith & Fulham has been added to the CommunitySafe website. We want to make this borough one of the safest in the country. To do so it is important people can receive up-to-date safety information and I would encourage residents to log on to the site to see what it has to offer.”

Text messages cost 12p each, but all other message are free of charge.
