Make your views known to the Hampshire Police and Crime Panel, on efforts by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to tackle traffic crime and associated nuisance.
Traffic crime and direct outcomes from it, such as speeding, antisocial motor vehicle use, and theft from vehicles, cause a nuisance and affect many residents.
Consequently, the Police and Crime Panel is gathering evidence, as part of its role to scrutinise and support the work of the Commissioner, to understand the extent of these issues across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight; examine whether the Commissioner’s current approach to combating them is succeeding in making roads and neighbourhoods safer; and identify where improvements can be made.
The value of hearing directly from the people living in Hampshire and Isle of Wight communities cannot be underestimated – our Panel is keen to understand first hand, what residents consider to be working well, and what more could be done to reduce traffic crime and improve road safety, in both rural and urban areas.
Based on seven key questions relating to these topics, residents’ feedback is being invited to inform the Panel’s proactive public scrutiny session on 6 October, which will take a closer look at the effectiveness of the Commissioner’s current work in these specific areas.
The questions on which we are seeking views can be found on our Hampshire Police and Crime Panel webpages at www.hants.gov.uk/hampshire-pcp.
To make your views known to the Panel, please submit your responses before Tuesday 29 August, via email to or by post, to Democratic and Member Services, Hampshire County Council, Corporate Services (Room 102) , Elizabeth II Court South, The Castle, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8UJ.
