The policing priorities for the next three months across Hertsmere have been set.

Hertfordshire Constabulary says its safer neighbourhood officers will focus on tackling a range of issues including anti-social behaviour and speeding.

The police will work with local partners, including Hertsmere Borough Council, to respond to issues which have been raised directly by residents.

The following priorities have been set and a dedicated team of police constables and police community support officers will be working to address them.

In Borehamwood, there will be a focus on cracking down on anti-social behaviour in Leeming Road, particularly by the shops. The council was recently granted £116,000 to address criminal behaviour in Cowley Hill, in which Leeming Road lies.

Over the last three months, extra patrols have been carried out at The Point in the town centre and by the Manor Way shops.

It led to youngsters at The Point being given 'acceptable behaviour contracts', while in Manor Way, police say they worked with the council and a landowner to tackle anti-social behaviour on a stairwell. 

Police add they will look at ways of encouraging resident to report suspected criminal activity across Borehamwood.

The force says it has had feedback from residents who have witnessed criminal activity, such as drug dealing, but felt too scared to report it. Officers will look to promote Crimestoppers more.

In Radlett, there will be a focus on tackling anti-social behaviour in the Battlers Green area, Phillimore Court, and Scrubbitts Square.

These areas have already been a priority for police over the last three months resulting in community protection notices being issued and offenders taken to court. 

Speeding motorists will be targeted in Porters Park Drive, Black Lion Hill, London Road, and Green Street in Shenley.

In Bushey, patrols will be increased in parks. Officers say they usually see an increase in calls to parks in Bushey at this time of year.

While in Potters Bar, the use of electric scooters, graffiti, and vandalism will be clamped down on.

Hertsmere safer neighbourhood inspector Rachael Robertson said: "These priorities have been set following responses from residents using our public feedback service echo and I thank them for taking the time in sharing what matters most to them. It’s really useful to understand what you would like to see from us.

"Some of the priorities remain unchanged from the last three months and this is because we still have on-going work to make sure we effectively tackle them.

"We will review these again in three months, but in the meantime you can still provide us with feedback using echo. It’s important to note that some comments we receive are about things that aren’t police matters, such as parking and litter, however we do pass these comments to our partner agencies, such as Hertsmere Borough Council so that they are aware and can look to tackle them."
