Safer Community Forums

The Safer Reading Campaign believes that community safety depends on community engagement. We have developed seven Safer Community Forums to promote community safety and crime reduction within local neighbourhoods.

Each forum is held on a quarterly basis. The Forums are committed to using community intelligence for effective policing and problem solving. The present Forum areas are:

• Caversham Forum
• East Reading Forum
• South Reading Forum
• Minster & Katesgrove Forum
• Norcot & Southcote Forum
• Tilehurst & Kentwood Forum
• The Oxford Road Forum

The Safer Reading Campaign funds small scale capital projects to enhance areas so crime and the fear of crime is reduced. In the past these have included gating and fencing projects.

A proposal to merge the Safer Reading Forums with the Neighbourhood Action Groups (NAGs) was discussed, and agreed, at the last Safer Reading Campaign meeting.  Details of how this proposal will be implemented can be found below.
