At last Thursday’s Sandyford & Goldenhill Resident’s Association (SAGE) Public Meeting, Sergeant Welch reported police statistics in the SAGE area from 01.03.25 to 31.03.25 as follows.
ASB: Goldenhill & Sandyford 5 – This equates to Goldenhill/Sandyford being 2nd lowest ward from 16, for ASB and 91% lower than the top ward area in Hanley.
Burglary: Goldenhill & Sandyford 4 – This equates to Goldenhill/Sandyford having a slight increase in burglaries recently.
Vehicle Crime: Goldenhill/Sandyford – This equates to Goldenhill/Sandyford being 9th lowest ward area from 16, and 73% lower than the top ward area.
Robbery: – Goldenhill/Sandyford 0 – This equates to Goldenhill/Sandyford being the lowest for robbery but robbery levels are very low so no real comparison to make.
Shop Lifting: – Goldenhill/Sandyford 0 – This equates to Goldenhill/Sandyford being the lowest for shop lifting with Hanley (understandably being very high indeed).
This is a huge improvement on recent events with shoplifting at BP Sandyford and the neighbouring Tesco store very high. It’s extremely encouraging to see how much this has reduced.
Earlier this week a well built black male, possibly in his 40’s went into the Londis/Post Office on High Street, Goldenhill and asked to borrow the defibrillator to hopefully save a persons life.
The gentleman said he was from Kidsgrove, but unfortunately he has NOT returned the defibrillator to the Londis Store where it is kept for all emergency use.
The price to purchase a new defibrillator is well in excess of £1,000, so we are hoping the person who borrowed the equipment can return it to Goldenhill Londis a.s.a.p.
By reporting this on Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association Social Media Pages we are trusting that someone can locate where the defibrillator is, so please help us to find it because it may be you or someone you know who will need it next.
City Council Leader Jane Ashworth has agreed to attend Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association Public Meeting tonight (Thursday 3rd April) 7.30 p.m. @ Goldenhill Community Centre, High Street, Goldenhill.
This is a golden opportunity to listen to what the Stoke on Trent Leader has to say about moving the city forward and the constraints it is having to deal with to achieve this. Residents attending the meeting will also have the opportunity to ask the leader questions in regards to how the city is being run or any other concerns relating to council issues.
This is the second time the council leader has agreed to attend a SAGE public meeting, and our thanks go to her for making the time to do this, which the residents association fully appreciates on behalf of its residents.
At tonight’s meeting will also be Councillor Chandra Kanneganti, Staffordshire Police & First Bus.
Also, there will be FREE FOOD on offer, the public bar is open to purchase drinks, and not forgetting the FREE PRIZE DRAW of 27 x Bottles of Wine, 20 x Boxed Cadbury’s Easter Eggs & 10 x McDonald’s Meal Vouchers.
Everyone is welcome to attend and we look forward to seeing you there tonight.
Residents from Brindley Village & Reginald Mitchell Way are reminded where possible to attend the next Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association Public Meeting this Thursday 3rd April @ 7.30 p.m. Goldenhill Community Centre.
The residents association always delivers leaflets to all properties on both estates with an invitation to every public meeting, but unfortunately at the last public meeting only one person attended from Brindley Village, although it was better news from the Reginald Mitchell Estate with 13 recorded residents.
Attending these meetings gives every resident the opportunity to meet e.g. the M.P. Leader of the City Council, police and Councillor Chandra Kanneganti, plus more influential people where you can ask questions you may need answering.
The residents association operates a Facebook page and website for all residents across the area, including Brindley Village & Reginald Mitchell Way, which we are aware is used extensively by residents on the two estates, so please support us as we support you by seeing you there this coming Thursday.
The next Sandyford & Goldenhill Public Meeting is being held on Thursday 3rd April. We have agreed the attendance of Jane Ashworth, Leader of Stoke on Trent City Council. First Bus, Ward Councillor Chandra Kanneganti & Staffordshire Police.
Everyone is welcome to attend on the evening, and you will be able to enjoy free food as well as being entered into our FREE PRIZE DRAW! The public bar is also open where drinks can be purchased.
We look forward to seeing you there on the evening!

A meeting took place at Hanley Police Station on Friday 7th March in regards to reviewing policing concerns raised by Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association (SAGE).
Our thanks go to David Williams M.P. for arranging the meeting on behalf of the residents association, where the M.P. Councillor Chandra Kanneganti, SAGE Residents Association and Senior Police Officials were in attendance.
Staffordshire Police confirmed there would not be a named police constable for the area as requested by SAGE, but it was agreed to look at alternatives to fill the void.
Positives from the meeting proved encouraging, which discussed a neighbourhood engagement programme between the police and the community that should increase police visibility within the area, with a review meeting date to follow.
Do you know a young person who’s hoping to start their driving lessons soon?
The Helping New Drivers website from the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership (SSRP) has a range of advice and information for anyone helping someone learn to drive.
The website covers topics from choosing a driving instructor and private practice, through to driving on rural roads and in challenging weather conditions. Guides for parents, carers and others offer step-by-step advice to help take the stress out of accompanying learner drivers.
The website also features a range of downloadable materials on topics to discuss before a young driver takes to the road, including managing speed, avoiding distractions and the importance of wearing seatbelts.

When seeing a robin with its colourful red breast, it can appear to many of us as another treasured bird in the U.K, but there is more to the bird in old wives tales, which many people believe.
The saying goes “when robins appear, loved ones are near” reflects the belief that robins serve as messengers from the afterlife.
In Irish and Celtic culture, robins are seen as a sign that someone important is nearby, and that lost loved ones may be visiting.
Whether the saying is true or not is a thought when meeting up with a robin, and for us to pause and think of a lost love one who we deeply miss.
