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
Concerns around general speeding and traffic complaints.
It has been brought to our attention that local residents have raised concerns about traffic issues around school pick up and drop off in Wargrave. We are also aware that this build up has caused problems for ambulance crews to get around while on an emergency call.
Action
You may have already seen PC Young and PC Bogdanova outside the Piggott school who are monitoring the traffic build up when available. Some Fixed Penalty Notices have already been issued to drivers.
PC Young is also in contact with our Roads Policing colleagues to assist with speed enforcement.
Community Speedwatch is a national initiative where proactive members of local communities join with the support and supervision of their local police to record details of speeding vehicles using approved detection devices. To join a local Community Speedwatch group and be involved in tackling speed related issues, please visit:

Issue
Complaints from residents regarding parking on Hurst Road and other roads across the area.
Action
Your local policing team is continuing to issue Fixed Penalty Notices for cars parked in a way which unnecessarily obstructs the pavement and forces pedestrians to walk on the road.
We are aware of complaints from residents regarding parking on Hurst Road and we are monitoring the parking; however, our powers are limited. We understand residents have requested the double yellow lines be extended or parking restrictions be implemented. To voice your opinion or for further information on these matters, please contact Wokingham Borough Council. www.wokingham.gov.uk
Issue
Anti social behaviour (ASB) caused by aggressive begging from a female who sits on London Road.
Action
PC Bogdanova has spoken to local businesses and it has been raised that the female is behaving in a verbally aggressive manner. The local team has worked together to identify the female and are currently working on engaging with her.
