Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale Neighbourhood Action Group (NAG)


 

Since their formation NAGs have become an essential element in our fight to improve the well being of our residents whether the issues be for the Thames Valley Police, the Royal Borough or any other agency.  To be effective they must be run by representatives of the community and the agencies involved and more than anything must represent the needs of the area.  

The needs of the population can come to the NAGs in many ways but, in order to establish three local policing priorities, the annual questionnaire is the widest survey we carry out.  

The NAG works on your behalf and in the past year has been working on Anti-social behaviour, Police visibility and domestic burglary. The NAG provides a focus for the Police, Community Wardens, Parking Enforcement Officers and many agencies  that work continuously to make our area a safer and pleasant place to live.  

This web site provides information on other partners in the fight against crime and disorder, what we have done in the past, some of our plans for the future.

Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale NAG Performance

 Priority Outcomes for 2010
Anti-Social Behaviour  In the 11 months to the end of March 2011 there was a 26% reduction in ASB. This has mainly been achieved by good work from Thames Valley Police and the borough’s Community Safety Team which includes the community wardens.
Police Visibility The Police have reacted positively to the desire to be seen out and about. At an operational level monthly highly visible speed checks on roads known to be prone to speeding have been undertaken and the Automatic Number Recognition team have been operating on the A30. To create closer relationships with residents our PCSO’s have organised meet your police stalls in prominent places such as supermarkets.
 Burglary
In the 11 months to the end of March 2011 the burglary rate reduced by 22% following a significant reduction in the previous year.  In January it increased temporarily so we are reminding residents to secure their homes and to report suspicious incidents immediately.

How the Ascot Neighbourhood Action Group started

In order to engage with the Community and establish their thoughts about policing priorities, the police organised an open meeting for residents of Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale in January 2008.  At the meeting residents were asked to identify their most significant concerns. When these were collated burglary, anti-social behaviour and speeding & parking emerged as the three local priorities.  Since then the NAG has worked to resolve these priorities with the consequence that by 2011 they had changed to All Burglary, Vehicle Nuisance and Anti-social behaviour.  It is these priorities that the Ascot Neighbourhood Action Group is working to resolve.
