Background

We know that crime and anti-social and crime on the Andover and Six Acres estates is of concern to residents who have been reporting drug dealing drug use, fly tipping and rough sleeping to the police and also to the anti-social behaviour response service.

The Andover and Six Acres Estates receives the highest level of antisocial behaviour reports in the borough and is the most consistent hot spot.
A hotspot is when a location receives six or more calls of antisocial behaviour to the council and police within a two week time frame.

The council coordinate a multi agency meeting that meets weekly and monthly to identify the root causes of the antisocial behaviour on the estate and to tackle it on a number of fronts, carrying out and environmental visual audit to understand physical improvements that need to be made, allocating resourcing such as police and park guard patrols, identifying perpetrators and escalating enforcement action and increasing support offer to the estate through street outreach and Targeted Youth Support.

However we recognise that more needs to be done to ensure residents voices are heard and can direct where we focus our efforts.

Aim

Our aim is to ensure that the residents and visitors to the Andover and Six acres estates can feel safe walking through the estate and in their homes regardless of your personal identity, the time of day, or how busy it is.

We want to make the area safer and want residents to feel confident in reporting incidents and in the response they receive.

We know that how safe you feel can be influenced by many factors – including age, gender expression, race, ethnicity, visible religious affiliation, and expression of sexuality, as well as how dark it is and how many people are outside.

We want you to tell us how you feel and what you would like to see change. We want to know how communities think we should be improving safety and community confidence, how we can better involve and engage communities in our work and how best we can communicate the work we do with you

Ways to get involved

Complete our Survey

We want to understand more about how you feel about safety and improvements we can make. We will open a short survey in January where you can tell us exactly where you feel safe or unsafe, why and what improvements you’d like to see at different locations. The survey will take 5-10 minutes to complete.

Share your ideas

We will also open an ideas board at the same time.. If you’re short on time or prefer not to complete the survey, you can simply add your suggestions for improvements to the estate that could reduce crime and ASB and improve feelings of safety for residents. We will review all response together to help us understand what to focus on over the next few months.

Stay informed

To keep up to date with the latest developments, subscribe to this page for updates. We will be adding a news update weekly.

What's Next?

  • Over the next year services across the council and our partners in the police as well as other partners will be focusing on working jointly to improve feelings of safety on the Andover estate.
  • We will use this information to direct resources towards those issues and projects you would like us to focus on and over the following three months we will aim to progress these across the estate.
  • At the end of the project we will ask residents whether they have felt and improvement on the estate and we will be asking what more we need to do. Your ideas and input will help us direct resources and focus on the project most important to you.
  • Your ideas and feedback from the survey will help us identify what improvements you want to prioritise on the estate, such as lighting, gates, locks.
  • This will also help us focus resources such as police and parkguard and outreach patrols.
  • This will help us better understand how you would like to engage with us, for instance increasing opportunities to speak with the police and council through contact points, or identifying engagement activities for specific groups on the estate.
  • We will feedback to residents on our progress telling you how we have implemented your ideas and taken your suggestions forward.
  • If you sign up you will also be able to see key events such as drop ins, fun days and other opportunities to get involved, speak to services or be updated on progress.
