Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

The new priorities for May to August are improving feelings of safety in Pishiobury Park in Sawbridgeworth, as well as Grange Paddocks park in Bishop's Stortford.

Issued 01 May 2026

We will take a proactive approach to enhancing safety in Pishiobury Park and Grange Paddocks, increasing our visibility, engagement, and joint working to help ensure these spaces feel safe and welcoming for the community.

Actioned 01 May 2026

During the last period in the Bishop’s Stortford and Sawbridgeworth area, the priorities were to reduce youth-related anti-social behaviour in Cricketfield Lane and Hadham Road, Bishop’s Stortford, and reduce reports of road-related offences in Harlow Road in Sawbridgeworth:

Issued 01 May 2026

• Neighbourhood officers met with staff to discuss the issues and encourage reporting, at the community club, and targeted patrols at the end of the school day has resulted in a reduction of reports to police.
• Regular patrols by PCSOs in the Harding area has resulted in no further reports of anti-social behaviour or off-road bike use.
• Regular traffic operations have been carried out on Harlow Road and surrounding areas tackling speeding, mobile phone use while driving and cross-border criminality.
• The number of speeding vehicles has decreased. We continue to work with Essex Police to ensure the road is not used as a route for serious and organised crime.

Actioned 01 May 2026
