Community crime and safety day in Britwell, Slough
Slough Borough Council’s community safety team will be holding a crime and safety surgery in Britwell on Tuesday, October 16, along with representatives from People 1st (Slough) and Thames Valley Police.
The surgery, held at the Slough MyCouncil office in Wentworth Avenue from 12pm to 2pm, will be a chance for all the organisations and residents to discuss any crime or safety related issues in and around Britwell.
It is open to all Britwell residents who have any concerns and there is no need to book.
The event is part of the national ‘Not in my neighbourhood’ week campaign, to encourage residents to work with the above agencies in their area to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour and to bring communities together.
Commissioner for Slough public protection, Cllr John Edwards, said: “Anyone who has any concerns in Britwell about crime and safety measures should go along to this event and discuss their worries.
“It is paramount that we all work together to make our neighbourhoods and communities a better place to live and surgery’s like this help to highlight any worries residents may have.”
Anne Farmer, project officer for community safety at Slough Borough Council, added: “We really hope that many of Britwell residents turn up on the day to discuss any worries they might have or to gain more information on how to stay safe.
“It is so important that we all work together to make our communities a better, safer place to live and it is also part of the councils, greener, safer, cleaner campaign.”
There will also be an event held at Tesco’s in the town centre on Thursday, 18th October in the car park and will also include the drugs and alcohol action team (DAAT), as well as Thames Valley Police, People 1st (Slough) and the council’s health improvement team.
It will be held from 10am to 4pm.
