How local priorities are agreed for Nantwich Town

The Nantwich Policing Unit consists of two Neighbourhood Policing teams - Rural team and Nantwich Town. These are further divided into wards, with beat officers. Your officers will be detailed on the Your Team page.

Every three months the Inspector, supported by one of the beat officers, holds a formal meeting with representatives of Nantwich Town Watch group that consists of both Town Councillors and other partners including Licencing and Town Centre representatives. During this meeting, the local priorities for the coming Quarter are ageed for the Nantwich Town team.

During this meeting, the representatives are given feedback on the previous priorities as well as a formal presentation on issues in their area including crime, anti-social behaviour and collisions. In addition the representatives bring forward information that they have received within their communities, from both the public and retail trade.

At the end of the meetings, which are chaired by a local councillor, the local priorities for the coming period are agreed having considered all this information. In addition, other issues that can be resolved are taken on board and either dealt with by the local officer or passed onto partner agencies if not a Policing issue; for example, a highways issue that can be passed to Cheshire East Borough Council. These Priorities are reviewed monthly in the period between meetings with the chair of the group and are validated at the Crime and disorder Sub group of the Cheshire East Local Area Partnership (LAP)..

In addition, information received in other formats, such as communication to our Neighbourhood Policing Team email mailbox or at the monthly police surgeries, are taken to these meetings to provide a rounded view. At this moment in time the website does not support a map of the areas but these can viewed in the front office of Nantwich Police Station or at the Town Council building.

These priorities are then listed on the Cheshire Police Website. Work is under way to provide posters to be placed in various locations in order also communicate this information.

If you require additional information, please contact us and we can discuss the matter further with you.
