Thanks to Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary & Hart North Police for continuing their amazing work, ensuring our streets are kept safe.

Reducing crime and antisocial behaviour is a main priority which is described in their community priority plan. This plan of action has gained support at the end of last year, continuing into 2023 with combined efforts from locals and neighbourhood watch. They stated in a recent report that: “We are regularly visiting and providing a visible presence in areas of offending and stopping vehicle types which have routinely been used by those out to commit crime.”

For more information about police services, visit Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary and the hart policing pages North Police and Hart South Police.

A huge thank you to all the firefighters working tirelessly to ensure our homes are safe when fires break out.

Recently, Fleet Fire Station were presented with individual Chief Fire Officer Commendations for their involvement in a traffic collision with awards also going to Hartley Wintney Fire Station, Rushmoor Fire Station, Basingstoke Fire Station.

Their passion for making people safe cannot go unrecognised and with all the controversy over how pay is distributed between the different sectors it’s safe to say they deserve a massive thank you.

The public shall always need your hard and work and dedication so keep up the good fight!
