Chinnor Names Its Policing Priorities

RESIDENTS in Chinnor have named the issues they want tackled in their neighbourhood.
The recent meeting to discuss priority issues held at Chinnor Village hall, was well attended with some 60 local people who all made a contribution to the evening.
During the meeting residents were asked to think of things that concern them in their neighbourhood and they then voted for their top issues. The top three priorities people chose were youths and antisocial behaviour; parking; and speeding.

Youths and antisocial behaviour received 20 votes. Parking received 18 votes and speeding received 17 votes. These three issues received the most votes of all the issues mentioned at the meeting.

The neighbourhood team is now looking for people willing to be part of the neighbourhood action group (NAG) to start taking work forward to tackle these priorities.

Sgt Martin Jubb, Neighbourhood Implementation Manager, said: ?The NAG will be a group of people including local residents, police, local authorities and other interested parties such as shop owners, teachers, youth workers or licensees. This group will find solutions to the three priorities and put those solutions into action.

?If you are interested in joining the NAG then contact me, Sgt Mike Todd or PC Abi Derbyshire via 0845 8 505 505.

?We would also like to hear from anyone interested in becoming a PCSO. PCSOs are the key to the success of neighbourhood policing and we need more PCSOs across South Oxfordshire to complete our neighbourhood teams.?

?If you are interested in finding out more about what being a PCSO involves contact the national call centre on 0845 600 0925 or visit www.rewardingrole.co.uk.?
