Watchfield / Longcot / Shrivenham neighbourhood

Local priorities

The following priorities have been identified by the community and the police:

1. Rural Crime. Due to the very isolated location of farm outbuildings throughout the Vale of the White Horse the area is being targeted for theft of plant and diesel. There are also thefts of Landovers and 4x4 vehicles.
2. Raves and illegal music gatherings. These events cause damage to crops and buildings, they create noise nuisance and have a major impact on the quality of life for residents. Drug taking is common at such events with people often driving under the influence and commit other offences.
3. Anti-social behaviour. Faringdon, Shrivenham, Stanford in the vale and Southmoor residents are concerned about young people gathering in local parks, car parks and other prominent locations being noisy and underage drinking. Some of them drive anti-socially.

These are being dealt with by your neighbourhood policing team in partnership with residents and other agencies. Progress will be reported in the Neighbourhood updates.
