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
ASB at Templars Square and Upper Bar, Cowley
Action
We continue our work to address issues of Anti Social Behaviour in this area. The team are working closely with partner agencies to promote sustainable improvements. Part of the work has involved a closure order that has been obtained in the Upper Bar area to protect vulnerable people and reduce ASB. The team have also sought to achieve Criminal Behaviour Orders on identified offenders and have completed regular, targeted operations which will continue. Community feedback has been sought and the majority of the surveys completed suggest a reduction in ASB has been achieved as a well as an increase in Police activity seen. This is positive feedback, but the work continues as issues persist. We will continue to seek community feedback and encourage the community to reports issues.
Issue
Street Drinking and ASB in the area of Magdalen Woods/Broad Oak.
Action
Having listened to community concerns, street drinking and ASB has been identified as an issue that needs our focus. The team are developing plans to best address this which will involve close work with partner agencies.
Issue
Use of Mopeds and E-Bikes/scooters around Wood Farm Road.
Action
Community concerns have been raised about an increase in the use of Mopeds and Electric vehicles that are being used in an Anti Social manner. Work is ongoing to ensure this is addressed to best serve the public and community that is impacted by this activity.
