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.

It is reassuring to see that an increased number of respondents to the Online survey have seen a reduction in E-Scooter use around Bicester.
We will continue to conduct monthly dedicated E-Scooter operations around Bicester seeking to enforce police powers and seize E-Scooters where appropriate. This will be in addition to challenging E-Scooter users during our normal daily patrols.
We encourage the Community to report E-Scooter use to the team to enable us to focus our patrols effectively.
