Have your say on local policing priorities

Message from Herts Connect (Hertfordshire Constabulary).

Over the last three months, Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) across Hertfordshire have been busy tackling the issues you told us matter most — including anti-social behaviour and vehicle use, road safety and drug-related crime.

Thanks to your feedback, we’ve stepped up patrols, carried out targeted operations and made arrests.

We’re now getting ready to set our next round of local policing priorities at the start of September — and we want to hear from you again.

No one knows an area better than the people who live and work in it and your insight plays a big part in our decision making, helping to shape the priorities, alongside an analysis of local data.

Please take a moment to share what matters to you by completing our short survey.

Consultation: Green Space Strategy 2027 to 2032. Deadline 27th July.

How should our parks, woodlands and open spaces be managed over the next five years? Three Rivers District Council is developing its Green Space Strategy for 2027–2032 and wants to hear how you use local green spaces, what you value most, and where improvements are needed. Your feedback will help shape how these spaces are protected, maintained and enhanced for both people and wildlife.

Survey: What would make your town centre feel safer this summer? Deadline 31st July.

Message from the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner.

Take this short survey and let them know: https://tinyurl.com/yccymbn4

Whether it’s tackling anti-social behaviour, reducing retail crime, improving safety for women and girls, or making sure our parks and public spaces feel welcoming, I want to hear what matters most to you.

This summer, I’m launching the next phase of my Safer Town Centres campaign, building on work that has already helped reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in hotspot locations across Hertfordshire through extra patrols and targeted activity.

We’re stepping up action this summer

Over the coming months, Hertfordshire Constabulary and local partners will be carrying out:

✅ Extra police patrols in town centres and hotspot areas
✅ Targeted action against anti-social behaviour and violence
✅ Work to tackle retail crime and support local businesses
✅ Activity focused on improving safety for women and girls
✅ Partnership work with councils, businesses and community groups to make public spaces feel safer and more welcoming

With more people expected to be out and about over the summer, we’re focusing resources where they can make the biggest difference.

The best way to improve local areas is by listening to the people who use them every day.

If you live, work, shop or spend time in Hertfordshire town centres, I’d like to hear your views. What concerns you? What would help you feel safer? What should be prioritised?

Take our short Safer Town Centres Survey before 31st July and help shape future action.

Funding available for local projects

I’m also opening a new grant scheme to support projects that improve safety and help communities thrive. Councils, charities, community groups, business organisations and local partners are encouraged to apply.

Funding could support innovative initiatives that:

  • Improve community safety
  • Reduce anti-social behaviour
  • Help people feel more confident using public spaces
  • Support safer high streets and town centres

👉 Find out more about the grant scheme: https://tinyurl.com/ywrrkrj2

The more people who take part, the better the picture we can build of what matters in communities across Hertfordshire.

Spend three minutes sharing your views and help make a difference where you live.

👉 Take the survey now: https://tinyurl.com/yccymbn4

Together, we can help keep Hertfordshire’s town centres welcoming, vibrant and safe for everyone.

Kind regards,

Jonathan Ash-Edwards
Hertfordshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner
