Welcome to Safer 6 2026
We are all working together to make our communities safer. The campaign runs from 8 June to 19 July, with events and activities across Sandwell’s six towns.
Six Weeks. Six Towns. One Safer Sandwell
Sandwell Council is once again working with police and partners to deliver Safer 6 2026 – a six-week programme focused on building cleaner, safer and stronger communities.
From 8 June to 19 July 2026, activities will take place across Sandwell’s six towns, tackling crime, anti-social behaviour and environmental issues while engaging directly with residents.
Expect visible action in your neighbourhood, from enforcement operations and environmental clean-ups to safety advice, wellbeing support, youth engagement and community events.
