Neighbourhood Priorities
Through consultation with the members of the public in this neighbourhood we regularly set out a number of priorities to be tackled.
- Anti-social behaviour Show details
Representatives from all areas within this beat cluster attended a Neighbourhood Priority Setting meeting on 24th January 2012, in order to set the priorities for the following three months. Neighbourhood Priority Surveys were used to collect the opinions, beliefs and concerns of the residents across the beat cluster area; this being Gedling, St. James, Phoenix, Burton Joyce, Lambley and Stoke Bardolph. Further information has also been gathered through surgeries and house to house enquiries / business visits to ensure that Policing priorities reflect and address the issues specific to the community.
Have your say complete an online survey - this shapes the way that we will decide our future priorities.
