If you live in Royston town or the rural areas around it, and are interested in how your community 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 in the coming months as they set their latest policing priorities. 

Safer Neighbourhood Team Sergeant Ryan Champion, said: "Feedback from residents is vital as we start thinking about the next set of priorities for Royston. We'd like to hear from the community about what they think we should focus on and if there are any particular problems they think we should prioritise? 

"Please let us know using echo, our online community voice platform, and OWL surveys available for completion by local residents, between 4-10 September, while consultation with local district councillors will take place the following week, after which the latest priorities will be announced." 

The Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT) 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 Council, to tackle ongoing problems. 

The current priorities are:  

Inconsiderate parking near local schools during drop off and pick up times. 

To reduce youth related anti-social behaviour in Royston. 

Speeding throughout the urban and rural areas of Royston.
