Our current borough priorities are:
Tackling anti-social behaviour;
Prevent violence against women and girls;
Preventing burglaries;
Pursuing persistent offenders;
Protecting our business communities.

Shoplifting offences in Station Road.

We have conducted additional patrols in the area to reassure residents. We have also invested a lot of time engaging with shop keepers asking them to report so that we can take action. We have issued numerous community protection warnings to stop our repeat offenders entering local shops and causing harm to the community.

You now have local PCSO's allocated to this area who are holding meetings in the community.

We are also setting up a shopwatch scheme to help with communication and identifying offenders for us to take action against.

ASB - over the last few years Addlestone Town has the highest levels of ASB and serious violence reported in the borough. We would add that whilst it is the highest in the borough Runnymede remains an extremely safe place to live, work and visit.

Addlestone is funded by the Home Office for additional patrols under our Hotspot Policing iniative. This means more foot patrols by police and security companies to tackle ASB. We are now using a new app which will help us track what we are doing and where we can adapt our patrols to be more effective.
