We welcome feedback from the public and want you to engage with us. Let us know about the issues you have in your area, how we can support your community. We want to know what type of engagement you would like us to do in your area on a regular basis.

• Talk to Us sessions where you can come along and speak to us about policing issues or crime prevention advice, and find out who we are and what we do

Two new Speedwatch groups have started in Backwell and I will be aiming to join them on some of their Speedwatch sessions

Current Locations:Long pathway (behind Skylark Grove), Wrington  Please note: StreetSafe is not for reporting crimes or emergencies. If you witness a crime or emergency, please call the police on 101 or report a crime online. If you're unsure whether something is a crime or not, read our advice.

Examples of situations that should be reported to StreetSafe include a poorly lit alleyway that makes you feel unsafe or a park with broken equipment that poses a safety hazard.

If you have areas that you would like to have patrolled more regularly, please let us know. Similarly, any areas that you feel are unsafe for any reason, talk to us and we can look at ways to increase the safety of these areas.

We have seen an increase in the number of complaints around people using residential streets to park their vehicles while they go on holiday.

Where vehicles are parked illegally, dangerously or causing an obstruction, we will issue a ticket and authorise removal of the vehicle if appropriate for the offence; this will result in a fine and a release fee for the vehicle as well as a daily charge for the storage of the vehicle.

A collaborative effort involving the airport, neighborhood policing team, planning department, and immigration personnel was recently conducted with notable success. The team visited rogue car parking businesses and provided guidance on compliant practices. As a result, there has been a reduction in vehicles left on the roadside. Additionally, several taxis were removed from the roads for various reasons. We will continue to monitor these activities and remain committed to further reducing roadside parking.
