Dozens of residents have their say at policing roadshow in Epsom and Ewell


🚓 Officer numbers, anti-social behaviour and shoplifting were among the issues raised during the sixth stop on the Policing Your Community roadshow this week.

Epsom and Ewell residents had the opportunity to share their views on crime and policing with Police and Crime Commissioner Lisa Townsend, Surrey Police’s Chief Constable Tim De Meyer and Borough Commander Kelly Clifton-Sinclair.

The evening began with updates from the Force, and Insp Clifton-Sinclair shared news of recent successes in the borough, including ‘Op Campfire’, which targets acquisitive crime including burglary, robbery and car theft. A series of significant arrests have been made through the operation, including that of a man sentenced to two years in prison.

The Inspector also revealed more about ongoing partnership working to ensure that the alleyways criss-crossing the borough are not used to facilitate or conceal crime.

Questions were then asked on a range of topics, including: 

🔴 Shoplifting in villages

🔴 The early release of some prisoners to relieve overcrowding in prisons

🔴 Anti-social behaviour committed on bikes in the Longmead area

🔴 Response times following a 999 call

🔴 The availability of police statistics on crime 

🔴 The Commissioner’s lobbying activities for fairer funding from the Government

We’d like to thank all those who joined the team at the Community and Wellbeing Centre in Sefton Road.

For those who were unable to attend, an online Policing Your Community event will take place on January 13 next year.

The next Policing Your Community event will take place in Woking on Monday, November 11.
