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
Rough sleepers at The Junction, Grays Place- Police received a number of calls in regards to rough sleepers in the bin sheds at The Junction, Grays Place.
Action
The police have received multiple calls about rough sleepers in the bin shed at The Junction, Grays Place. Previously, the Neighbourhood team has patrolled the area and disrupted those using it for sleeping. While this has been effective at times, it has not fully resolved the issue. Consequently, the Neighbourhood team has organised a meeting with housing and multiple local agencies to develop a permanent solution. The goal is to address this problem and ensure residents can come and go from their homes without any issues. The team will continue to patrol the area, disrupt activity, and work closely with residents to tackle this problem.

We continue to receive reports of drug dealing, suspicious vehicles, and suspicious behaviour in the areas of Rochford Gardens and Goodman Park. Recently, officers conducted targeted patrols in the area and completed a CLEAR CAR CAMPAIGN. During this initiative, we identified 10 insecure vehicles and found several personal items on display. The campaign aims to educate residents about keeping valuables out of their cars and ensuring all vehicles are secure to prevent thefts or damage. Additionally, the Neighbourhood team seized and recovered a vehicle linked to drugs. We will continue to monitor the area and have several initiatives and operations planned for the coming month.
