In the recent neighbourhood priorities survey, burglary was voted as one of the top priority for their local neighbourhood team to focus on. Burnham has recently seen an increase in burglaries

The team will continue with burglary prevention efforts. This includes high visibility patrols in areas with increased reports of burglaries.
A large part of burglary prevention is also community engagement, the team conduct regular have your say events in locations around Burnham, Farnham and Taplow, these events give local residents the chance to speak to a member of their local neighbourhood team and raise any concerns for their community, as well as receiving crime prevention advice. Another way the team distribute burglary prevention advice is through a process called cocooning, in which they will deliver informational leaflets to households in close to proximity to a home that has just been burgled.

Burglaries are not just residential but can often impact local businesses. This month, a 52 year old male was jailed for 12 months for breaking into a Morrisons store in Burnham and Beaconsfield while they were closed and attempting to steal cigarettes.

Anti-social behaviour was one of the top priorities voted for by the residents of Burnham, Farnham & Taplow. The neighbourhood team is dealing with reports from various areas such as Burnham high street and Burnham Park, these can be issues such as noise complaints, drug use, littering and any other behaviour that impacts the community negatively.

The neighbourhood team utilise their patrols to target areas that have increased and/or consistent issues of anti-social behaviour, these patrols help to both detect and deter the behaviour. They will also seek to stop and engage with those suspected to be causing issues. There is various ASB legislation such as community protection warnings that can be utilised against those persistently acting anti-socially.

Recently, the team have been dealing with illegal use of E-scooters, it has been seen that this is a topic of concern for residents across Bucks as the riders often ride dangerously on public streets. In May, policy changes meant that police would now be seizing the E-scooters right away instead of issuing warning letters, multiple e-scooters have been seized in Burnham in the past few months.
