Some of the feedback we have received and sorted for you are; Parking Issues, which includes blocking the pavements, obstructing road junctions – ongoing and numerous tickets have been issued. Parking is mainly enforced by Wokingham Council.Car Meets – This is an ongoing issue across all different police forces. We are actively patrolling the sites they attend and gather intelligence as and when these car meets are taking place. There is a dedicated operation to tackle the car meets. Not all car meets cause an issue though, it is just the small majority that ruin it for the rest of the people attending.E-Scooters & E-Bikes – This is an ongoing issue across all neighbourhood teams. We are issuing warnings and seizing them as and where possible. 4 warnings issued since, and 1 seizure. You can help us by ensuring this is one thing Santa doesn’t bring this year!IT Theft and Scams – This is an ongoing problem across the whole country.

We regularly engage with those we come across and deliver words of advice where needed, or often just a friendly chat. We have also engaged with third parties who have an authority, to introduce their own anti-ASB measures to the area, some of which have already been installed. It has to be said however, there are never any reports in to us about this despite us knowing this to be an area for ASB. Without your reports, we cannot formulate an effective strategy, such as persons involved, times, frequency and activities. You are the eyes and ears for the community just as much as we are and only by working together can we make improvements to benefit us all. Visibility – We are always patrolling between our incidents we are responding to but reports and locations on our survey helps us where to focus and where people are having issues. Remember, if it isn’t reported, we might not know about it.

We ask for description of people involved, any vehicle index’s/make/model, what time this happens and what day, if it is a regular occurrence or the first time. If you want to remain anonymous you can contact crime stoppers - Giving information anonymously | Crimestoppers (crimestoppers-uk.org).
