  • Potton Engagement – Sunday 14th December 2025 8 December 2025

    ‘Your local Community Officer will be at Market Square, Potton on Sunday 14th December from 10:30am – 11:30am. I will be at this location for 30 minutes before patrolling the town. Please take this opportunity to raise any concerns you may have and to find out what we are doing to tackle the issues that matter to you.

    Everyone is welcome and it would be great to see you there. Dogs are more than welcome to come along; in fact, I insist on it. If you would like to contact me beforehand, we can arrange to meet during this time.

    Please bear in mind that as a front-line officer I may be called away on a job before or during the event, if this happens, I will try and let you know at the earliest possible time.’

    Central Bedfordshire Council

    As we are approaching the end of the year, we would be very grateful if you would complete our Community Safety Survey to tell us about crime and anti-social behaviour in your area.

    We appreciate the time you spend giving us your feedback and are grateful to those of you who share their views every year, keeping us up to date with developments and changes.

    If you have concerns, please report them. If you do not wish to report to Bedfordshire Police’s non-emergency number, 101, you can contact Crimestoppers, an independent charity that allows the public to report crime while remaining completely anonymous. You can contact them from any mobile or landline by calling 0800 555 111 or by submitting a report through their website. However, in an emergency, please call 999.

    Community safety is important to us all, and by working together to tackle crime and disorder we can make Central Bedfordshire a safer place to live.
