If you live in Letchworth or Baldock and are interested in how your town is policed, then your local officers want to hear from you.

They want to know your views on what issues you think they should be focussing on for the next six months. 

The Safer Neighbourhood Teams work with local communities, dealing with short and long-term neighbourhood issues, such as anti-social behaviour and criminal damage. They also work in partnership with other local agencies including North Herts District Council, to tackle many of the ongoing problems. 

The current local priorities for the Letchworth and Baldock are: speeding and E-scooter use throughout the towns, theft from motor vehicles, particularly catalytic converter and number plate thefts, and speeding on Norton Road. 

Using OWL – the Online Watch Link system, and 'echo' - the community voice platform, residents are being asked to submit their feedback regarding the issues that matter to them most, between today (Monday 17 July) and Sunday 23 July.  

Letchworth and Baldock Safer Neighbourhood Team Sergeant Lisa Perks, said: "We need input from our local communities to help us understand the issues that are impacting them so we can take action against them.  

"When we know what matters most to local residents, we can make sure we allocate resources where they are needed. Sometimes there can be an issue that is having a negative impact on a community, but it has not been officially reported to us, so we might not be aware.  

"Please use the contact details, and links, below to get in touch and let us know your views." 

You can submit your feedback by using our 'echo' feedback platform here https://bit.ly/police-lb. Your feedback will help shape our patrol plans, as well as future campaigns and initiatives.  

All feedback is anonymous, so if you are referring to a specific location please include as much information as possible.  

If you are a member of OWL - our Online Watch Link – you can also complete our special priority setting survey which will have been emailed to you.

If you are not already a member and want to sign up to complete the survey and also receive police messages about a range of topics including burglaries, scams and missing people in your local area, go to the OWL website. 

If you need any further information, please contact the Letchworth and Baldock Safer Neighbourhood Teams via email [email protected] or visit the Herts Police website.
