Local Priorities

The priorities for May to August are as follows:

• Acquisitive vehicle crime. Theft from vehicles and theft of vehicles throughout the rural area is a concern for local communities. We will work with the public and businesses to improve crime prevention awareness and increase patrols in these isolated locations to reduce offences and reassure communities.

• Fly-tipping and related crime along the Herts/Beds border. We will continue to focus on this issue over the coming months, ensuring that close collaboration with colleagues in Bedfordshire continues. We will also continue to undertake dedicated patrols and operations throughout the area.

Issued: 18 May 2026

Status Update

Residents will see their dedicated Neighbourhood Policing Team of PCs and PCSOs working alongside partners to tackle these issues, through an increased police presence, engagement events and targeted enforcement.

Actioned: 18 May 2026

The previous local priorities for the area were:

• Tackling drug related anti-social behaviour in Wymondley, particularly in the car park area on Tower Close.

• Fly-tipping in Hitchin Rural and in particular in the Offley and Lilley areas.

Issued: 18 May 2026

Status Update

Residents previously asked us to focus on the following issues:

Tackling drug related anti-social behaviour in Wymondley, particularly in the car park area on Tower Close
*The Neighbourhood Policing Team conducted patrols in the area to ensure that any unlawful activity is identified and addressed.
