Operated by: Thames Valley Police
https://www.thamesvalley.police.ukEvery neighbourhood in Thames Valley has a dedicated Neighbourhood Policing team.
Neighbourhood Policing teams can be contacted via 101, the Thames Valley Police non-emergency number. Always call 999 in an emergency.
Neighbourhood Policing teams…- Are led by senior police officers and include police community support officers (PCSOs), often together with volunteer police officers, volunteers and partners.
- May serve one or several neighbourhoods.
- Work with local people and partners to identify, tackle and prevent local, low-level crime, anti-social behaviour, and any ongoing concerns.
- Provide you with a visible, accessible and accountable police service and aim to make your neighbourhood safer.
- Have been present in every Thames Valley neighbourhood since 1 April 2008.
- Focus all of their efforts on their dedicated neighbourhoods, building relationships with local people.
- Needs you to tell us about the issues that concern you in your area.
- Has transformed policing at a local level, to meet the needs of local communities.

From the start of 2010, Thames Valley Police extended its neighbourhood consultation by introducing a wider range of publicised opportunities to meet neighbourhood teams.
We will provide open monthly meetings to allow the public to influence our priorities. These meetings will be branded as Have Your Say opportunities, and in many cases will be held in conjunction with partners.

Across the Thames Valley area, there are many successful Neighbourhood Action Groups which will continue to deliver local problem solving, but the introduction of Have Your Say meetings will allow neighbourhood teams to identify more quickly those specific local priorities that need attention.
Thames Valley Police views the introduction of Have Your Say meetings as a positive step in tackling issues that matter most to the public. I welcome your support and engagement in this endeavour.
Current Priorities
Issue
Complaints from residents regarding speeding around Longdon Road, Sherwood Road and other major access roads.
Action
The Winnersh neighbourhood policing team have continued to conduct various traffic and speed enforcement operations as well as spontaneous deployments targeting a number of road traffic offences and anti-social driving. Multiple offenders have been spoken to and more operations are planned and this has been expanded to cover new community concerns in the Sherwood Road area.
Speeding is important to address especially with the noise pollution and risk it presents to nearby residents. Thank you for continuing to update us with these issues and we would encourage residents to continue to report this behaviour and roads most affected.
Issue
Dangerous use of e-bikes and e-scooters around Winnersh Train station and the offshoot roads.
Action
The Winnersh neighbourhood policing team continue to receive reports of riders using open spaces, footpaths and roadways while driving in a dangerous manner and committing road traffic offences. The team has continued to seize these conveyances and proactive patrols have been conducted regularly in the area.
E-bikes and e-scooters are illegal to use on roads/pathways and TVP will be robust in seizing offending scooters and bikes. Operations have been conducted with a number of colleagues seizing e-bikes and e-scooters in the surrounding area with joint operations ongoing.
Issue
Drug activity and anti-social behaviour around Fresian Way/Jersey drive and the local area.
Action
The Winnersh neighbourhood policing team have continued to receive reports for this locality and drug use. We continue to conduct patrols in the area, engaging with residents and groups of youths, searching those where the grounds have been met. Officers will continue to target this issue and the drug issues in peripheral areas to ensure this issue receives the correct response but the information passed by the community will be key in directing officers attention to obtain best results.
