Priority:
Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)
Action taken:
The Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) is working closely with partner agencies and specialist departments within Wiltshire Police to address ongoing issues of anti-social behaviour in the area.
Regular high-visibility and mobile patrols are being conducted in identified hotspot locations, with a focus on prevention, enforcement, and community reassurance.
We are actively engaging with local residents to better understand their concerns, ensuring that victims are supported and their voices heard.
Recent enforcement activity has resulted in a number of ASB-related crimes being dealt with, and we will continue to target those responsible.
This remains a key priority for the team, with a strong emphasis on community partnership, visible policing, and long-term problem-solving.

Priority:
Speeding and Traffic Offences – Speeding and Road Safety in Rural Areas
Action taken:
We have received ongoing reports and community feedback highlighting concerns around excessive speeding and driving offences in Royal Wootton Bassett, Clack Hill, Tockenham and other surrounding rural locations.
In response, your local Neighbourhood Policing Team will be: conducting targeted speed enforcement operations in identified hotspot areas, engaging with communities to raise awareness around safe driving in rural environments, working with Wiltshire Council and the Road Safety Partnership to explore long-term solutions, such as signage, traffic calming, and community speed watch support
We will also review dashcam and public submissions for offences such as dangerous driving, use of mobile phones, and no seatbelt use.
We encourage all residents to report concerns via the Wiltshire Police website or by calling 101. Your information helps us focus our resources where they’re most needed.
