Local Priorities

Yeovil has some lovely open spaces!

Sometimes we can forget that we have some incredible greenery right in the centre of the town so, lets enjoy them.

Ninesprings, Yeovil recreation ground and Sidney Gardens are just a few of them!

Managed locally by Yeovil Town Council and dedicated community groups, the neighbourhood policing teams can be seen regularly patrolling these areas to make sure you have a ‘sense of safety’.

Sometimes these areas of natural beauty can be used for inappropriate behaviours which can make those enjoying the spaces feel anxious.

The vast majority of the community who enjoy walking their dogs or going for a walk/run embrace these areas and take ownership so don’t be afraid to report anything and say hello to the Neighbourhood Polic Team when you see them.

Issued: 25 Mar 2026

The Walk and Talk Scheme offers female members of the public the chance to book a walk with one of Yeovil’s female police officers or PCSOs and show them areas where they feel vulnerable or unsafe.

This gives officers and PCSOs the opportunity to:

  • gain a better understanding of women’s safety in their local community
  • tackle potential violence against women and girls
  • work with our partner agencies to facilitate positive change

If you are interested, please head to the Walk and Talk web page: Walk and Talk | Avon and Somerset Police where you can see how to apply. 

StreetSafe app: You can also report feeling unsafe in public spaces via the StreetSafe app, completely anonymously. Report feeling unsafe in public spaces (StreetSafe) | Avon and Somerset Police

Issued: 12 Mar 2026

Status Update

This scheme is still available and we would encourage any females who sometimes feel unsafe, in the areas that they walk, to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!

Status Update

Anti-social Behaviour (ASB) can have a devastating impact on individuals as well as our local community, and everyone has the right to feel safe where they live, and we all have apart to play in this.
We always encourage our communities to report persistent Anti Social Behaviour in your areas, either by calling us on 101, using our website to report things online, or by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Our local neighbourhood teams work alongside our constabulary’s specialist anti-social behaviour team, as well as other local authority services and charities, to work with those involved in low level offending. This ranges from warning letters to education and support. We also work with those involved in more persistent offending with higher end interventions, such as Community Protection Notices and Community Behavioural Orders that can include arrestable conditions.

Actioned: 25 Mar 2026
