Community safety

Crime is a concern for the people visiting, living and working in Tandridge. The council, the police and other key agencies are working together to reduce crime, improve the quality of life for everyone and make Tandridge safer place for all.

A new Community Safety Plan 2008-2011 has been published by the Tandridge Community Safety Partnership, made up of Tandridge District Council, Surrey County Council and Surrey Police. This new plan re-focuses the work to address new priorities, as well as build on the success of existing work. The success of its delivery can only be achieved through the combined efforts of the whole community, working in partnership with the police and local councils to make Tandridge a safer place in which to live, work and travel.

To keep residents and business informed the Tandridge Community Safety Partnership produces a Crime prevention supplement, which appears in the Tandridge Magazine.

How you can help

There are a number of ways of working with us to make our community safer.

Neighbourhood Watch

Neighbourhood Watch schemes are groups of volunteers who work in partnership with the police and the local council to stay safe and keep down crime. They distribute advice on security and safety within their local area and help make sure elderly or vulnerable members of the community aren't targets for criminals. They also gather information which can help police tackle local problems as well as alert local people when there is a particular crime problem in the area.

For more information visit Neighbourhood Watch.

Find your local Neighbourhood Watch contact.
