| NAG
is part of a force wide neighbourhood initiative established by Thames
Valley Police in 2007/8. We are a multi agency problem solving group with
an independent Chairman drawing our membership from TVP, the Royal
Borough, Parish Councils, local schools, residents and businesses with
input from other statutory agencies or organisations as appropriate.
The objective of the NAG is to identify
annually residents’ top three community issues or concerns and act as an
advisory, influencing and pursuing body to focus partnership or direct
agency involvement to achieve positive outcomes in addressing those
concerns. In achieving the latter the group has also to be realistic in
recognising that reducing anti social behaviour (ASB) in one location may
only move it to the next road or village. Reducing speeding may not always
be resolved by direct enforcement but may also require the Highways
Department to consider speed reduction improvements. Theft from motor
vehicles can be reduced by educating owners not to leave valuables in
their vehicles.
The Group meets every 6/8 weeks at venues
within the three villages that make up the Policing Neighbourhood. The
appointed Independent Chairman is Mrs. Betty Marlow. Core Group Community
Members include RBWM Councillors John Lenton (Horton and Wraysbury) &
Garry Muir (Datchet), Parish Council Representatives Councillors Andrew.
Davies (Wraysbury), Don. Lyons-Davis (Datchet) & David Burkin (Horton)
and the Deputy Head of Churchmead School.
Message from the Chairman:
Since my appointment the last 18 months
have been a very intensive learning curve for all involved as we have been
learning new terminology, working practices and building relationships
whilst accepting that we can advise, influence and pursue but we cannot
dictate. Whilst representing their individual areas, Members have become a
team by recognising that as a Group we represent and act for the benefit
of the communities of ALL three villages each with a different identify
and community concerns. For example an ASB problem in Horton can be
totally different to one in Datchet and may require different actions,
solutions or a partnership approach with other agencies and/or local
residents.
Although our three priorities are set
annually by the community we can be contacted at any time via the contacts
listed below The aim of the Group is "to focus on those issues
that will improve community safety, improve public confidence and reduce
crime and disorder". However we are all aware that locations and
areas of concern do not remain static.
BUT IF YOU DON’T REPORT IT - WE MAY NEVER
KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM!
