The Neighbourhood Team

About the Neighbourhood Team

Woking Borough Council has a team of dirt busting, graffiti beating, troubleshooters who are committed to improving the enviornment and making the Borough a better place in which we can all live and work.

The seven members of the team pound the streets around the Borough, acting as a single point of contact for residents to report problems with litter, graffiti, abandoned cars, fly-tipping, refuse, recycling, public conveniences and soft landscaping.

As certain types of anti-social behaviour contribute to people's fear of crime, the Neighbourhood Team also works closely with the police to take action against offenders.

Working in partnership with the police

Formerly, the Borough was divided up into seven areas and each member of the team took responsibility for one of these areas. However, following a decision to work more closely with the police, the team has reorganised the division of the Borough, from seven areas to nine areas, to tie in with the new Neighbourhood Policing initiative.

Neighbourhood Policing allows police, local partner organisations (ie, the Council and the Neighbourhood Team) and the public to work together to tackle problems of crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour.

Surrey Police, with the help of those who live in the Borough, has split Woking into defined neighbourhoods and each is covered by a Neighbourhood Policing Team, made up of a combination of dedicated beat officers, Neighbourhood Specialist Officers (NSOs) and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs).

So, in order to work effectively in partnership with the police, Woking Borough Council's Neighbourhood Team will now cover the same nine neighbourhoods as the police. Members of the Council´s Neighbourhood Team will now be responsible for one, or more, of these nine neighbourhood areas, working with the police and the community towards tackling problems and issues that exist in their areas.
