Welcome to the Saxmundham and Framlingham Safer Neighbourhood Team website. 

In Suffolk, Safer Neighbourhood Teams are made up of Police Officers, Police Community Support Officers, Specials and Police Support Volunteers.

We work alongside staff from other organisations, including district and borough councils to provide an even better service to local people across the county.

Our Team has a remit to solve problems indentified by local people from your area - which could range from crime and anti-social behaviour to noise and litter.

Remember, we are here to help you, so please get in touch with us if you need our assistance.  Our team covers the wards of Snape, Yoxford, Walberswick, Saxmundham, Hacheston, Peasenhall, Earl Soham and Framlingham.

The next neighbourhood policing meeting

We hold regular tasking meetings, which are attended by the police, county, district and parish councillors, as well as our partners from health and educational organisations.

The aim is to:

• Discuss issues put forward by the local community.
• Select the top three priorities to be addressed and how we are going to tackle them.
• Arrange feedback to local people about progress.

These meetings are open to the public, so if you would like to come along and raise any issues with us, the next one for your area is on Wednesday, 10th March 2010. It starts at 2pm and finishes at 4pm, and will take place at: The Resource Centre, Seaman Avenue, Saxmundham.
