Following feedback from residents and partners the site has been completely redesigned to allow residents to more easily access crime reduction advice, contact the borough's community wardens; find out information on drugs and alcohol and much more.

The new look site features sections on reporting crime and anti-social behaviour, the navigation has been reviewed to make information easier to find and the site has been refreshed in terms of 'look and feel.

Cllr Jesse Grey, lead member for community safety, said:" It is vital that we give residents and visitors easier access to crime reduction advice and how to get in touch with the community safety team. The old site, which was been running since 2004, regularly attracted over 30,000 hits per month so I am very confident that the new site will have even more visitors.

" Many residents have computers at home and we hope that they will find the new-style website more useful. I would encourage people to use the website and see what's happening in the borough to tackle crime and disorder, and importantly who's who and how to get in touch."

Supt Tim DeMeyer, local police area commander, said:" This website much is better. There is plenty of practical advice, the links are simple to use and it's easy to find up-to-date information on the organisations that work to keep the Royal Borough safe."
