I'm starting this month's update with some very good news- the Taplow and Dorney neighbourhood team has just received an award for the work we are doing within the community and with the Neighbourhood Action Group (NAG). Trevor and I both received a Certificate of Achievement at a special presentation held by Chief Superintendent Paul Tinnion for our ‘outstanding achievements', especially with the speed enforcement operation held last September with local school children. Trevor and I were also recently nominated by local residents for Community Officers of the year. The NAG and the policing team are working together to combat parking issues in the Taplow and Dorney areas. Members of the NAG recently carried out surveys which helped to identify problem areas and times; they also issued warning notices to offending vehicles. The neighbourhood team have been following this up with enforcement in the area which is starting to have an impact. We would still like to encourage local residents to be more considerate when parking and not to obstruct pavements. The neighbourhood team are continuing with our monthly speed enforcement campaigns on the four identified roads - Lake End Road and Village Road in Dorney, and Berry Hill and Hill Farm Road in Taplow. During these operations we have been asking drivers who are stopped for speeding why they use the road and it's been identified that the majority are local residents. The next opportunity for you to come along and have an informal chat about any concerns or issues with your local officers is on Saturday 9 August at Taplow Village Hall, Rectory Road, Taplow from 3-4pm. The figures for the month of June are as follows: there has been a reduction in burglaries this month from seven to two in the Taplow and Dorney area. Due to the warmer weather we would like to remind residents to continue to be vigilant and to keep doors locked and valuables out of sight.
Vehicle crime has also reduced from 13 to six. However criminal damage has risen to ten incidents this month. The neighbourhood team have increased their patrols to try to combat the rise in anti-social behaviour in the area. Please do not leave valuables on display, particularly lap top bags and sat nav's. If you would like to talk to the team or have any information about an incident, call us via the 08458 505 505 non emergency number. If you see a crime taking place, please call 999. News Source:
