Keeping Our Streets Safe

Our area remains one of the safest areas in the country. We are determined to keep it that way. Feeling safe in the communities in which we live and work is of huge importance.

I know that instances of anti-social behaviour and criminal activity can have a huge impact on how safe we all feel.

Under a Conservative Government and Conservative Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner we have a total of 679 additional officers in Sussex.

New systems and extra resources are supporting the policing of our Town Centre- including the newly established Horsham Town Team.

Please see below for updates on keeping our streets safe.

Jeremy Quin Catches Up with Inspector Durkan

I was pleased to catch up with Inspector Neil Durkan following our successful Horsham Town Police Team meeting.

Inspector Durkan is working to bring a series of engagement events to our local communities over 2024 which I will be sharing more details on closer to the time.

Illegal Vape Sales

I have become concerned about increasing evidence of vapes being sold locally to people under the age of 18 and I know I am not alone. As such I wrote to West Sussex County Council's Trading Standards asking what action they are taking against those retailers selling vapes illegally.

Policing "Town Team" for Horsham

On Friday 28th July MP for Horsham, Jeremy Quin, held two meetings in the town to discuss concerns around anti-social behaviour.   

Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour

In the survey on crime I recently held on my website I specifically asked if respondents had personally encountered anti-social behaviour (ASB) in the last 12 months.

Results of My Crime Survey

I am very grateful to the well over 1,000 residents who responded to the crime survey on my website. Naturally, those who are more worried about crime are more likely to have filled it out and therefore I wouldn’t want to present this as a scientific survey.
