Neighbourhood Forums
As of January 2010 the 'Safer Neighbourhood Policing Panels' run by the local Neighbourhood Policing Teams will be replaced by wider ranging 'Neighbourhood Forums'.
These have been set up by Huntingdonshire District Council who will run and administer them.
There will be representation from the Neighbourhood Policing Team who will provide an update on what they have been doing in the area, make available an up to date 'Neighbourhood Profile Document' which will give crime figures and key updates for the previous three months.
The Forums will be used as a platform to set local policing priorities for the next quarter. The meetings will be chaired by a local District Councillor, all key public sector services will be represented, the local communities will be represented by attending district, town and parish Councillors. Members of the public are encouraged to attend and raise issues of any nature, whether it be planning issues, public transport, fly tipping, health, speeding or crime and disorder.
The Forums will continue to enable local communities to hear about and influence what public sector providers and local councils are doing and to provide an opportunity to draw attention to any problems that need to be resolved.
All Forum meetings will be held on a quarterly basis similar to the previous Safer Neighbourhood Panel Meetings and are open to the public where there will be an opportunity for individuals to come and have their say. The programme of meetings for the Forums are as follows, all commencing at 7pm -
Ramsey
Tuesday 19th January 2010 - Warboys Parish Centre
Tuesday 20th April 2010 - Ramsey Community Centre
Wednesday 21st July 2010 - to be confirmed
Wednesday 20th October 2010 - to be confirmed
The change of quarterly meetings is purely an administrative change. The local policing teams remain in their local stations as they always have been, there is no movement or reduction in the local police teams who will continue to work together with partners to reduce crime and disorder and bring offenders to justice.
