Speeding, safe parking around schools and continuing youth engagement are the key areas that the Royston Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT) will be focusing on over the coming months, following feedback from the local community. 

The SNT are tasked with fixing short and long-term neighbourhood issues such as anti-social behaviour. The officers work closely with local partners including the council and schools to achieve this. 

The team regularly sets out priorities to focus on and these are reviewed throughout the year. 

A new set of priorities have recently been decided, based partly on the information residents have been submitting on echo, the constabulary's community voice platform. 

The priorities for the coming months are:  

Speeding throughout Royston Urban and Rural areas 

Inconsiderate parking and driving near schools 

Continued youth engagement to maintain low youth related anti-social behaviour (ASB) and prevent future ASB 

Royston SNT Sergeant Ryan Champion, said: "I'd like to thank the community for submitting their recommendations for our policing priorities in Royston and for their continued support through participation in the OWL and echo surveys. 

"These priorities have been set following community feedback and work with the local council to ensure our activities reflect what the local communities want. 

"As part of the constabulary's Prevention First ideal, we have regular youth engagement events to build bridges with local officers and our young people and are looking to continue on the recent success of those."
