Neighbourhood

The physical surroundings in which we live have a huge influence on our wellbeing. They affect our physical and mental health, our security and safety.

The right to individual privacy is also important, and must be respected.

Our commitment is to:

  • Encourage community vigilance, whereby neighbours look out for each other and work together to discourage littering and other anti-social behaviour.
  • Support effective waste disposal and recycling through free kerbside services, and easy access to waste and recycling centres.
  • Improve street lighting and pathways to enhance personal safety and deter criminal activities.
  • Work with Thames Valley Police and communities to achieve an appropriate neighbourhood police presence in order to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.
  • Ensure that the use of ANPR cameras is proportionate to their purpose, and all data are stored securely and managed in accordance with data protection legislation.
