Community Trigger Launched across West Berkshire

The Community Safety Partnership, including West Berkshire Council and Thames Valley Police are working together to introduce Community Trigger as part of the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014.

The Community Trigger which comes into effect on 20th October 2014, is intended to enable victims of persistent anti-social behaviour to request a review of their case, and brings agencies together to take a joined up, problem-solving approach to find a solution.

If you have already reported anti-social behaviour to West Berkshire Council, Thames Valley Police or your housing association, and feel that the issue has not been resolved, you can request a Community Trigger review of your case*

To request a Community Trigger review, please contact us via:
