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.

ASB and Drug Crime around St Clements Community Centre

The NHPT have listened to community concerns regarding ASB and drug crime occurring in and around the location. A recent Have Your Say has been completed at the location and issues are reported to be causing concern to the community and regular users of the community facility.

Issue
ASB and drug crime in the St Mary and St John Churchyard.

The team are aware of community concerns about the improper use of the churchyard which is having an impact on Church users as well as the wider community. We are working closely with the council and the Church to problem solve this matter with the aim of reducing ASB and drug use/crime in the area. Targeted patrols and events are ongoing and planned by Police, but also preventative long term work is ongoing in support of the Church and community to ensure sustainable improvement is achieved.
The Neighbourhood Team have been completing regular, targeted patrols in the area and progress is being made with regards to target hardening the location in partnership with the Church and the council. Work continues to seek to address these issues.
