Current priorities
Rural crime (farms / hare coursing / non-dwelling burglaries)
Rural crime is a significant concern across the Mere area, including offences affecting farms, hare coursing, and non-dwelling burglaries such as theft from outbuildings and rural businesses. We are increasing patrols, acting on intelligence, and working closely with rural communities and partner agencies to disrupt offenders and protect vulnerable rural locations.
Set: 2026-05-13
Retail Crime
We’re supporting retailers in Mere to tackle theft and related anti-social behaviour. This includes regular patrols, advising on prevention measures, and ensuring crimes are reported so patterns and repeat offenders can be identified. Business owners and staff are encouraged to report incidents and submit any available CCTV or evidence.
Set: 2026-05-10
Road Safety
Road safety remains a priority across our rural road network, where speed, visibility and driver behaviour can increase risk. We will continue targeted patrols and speed enforcement in areas of concern and work with partners to improve safety. Everyone has a role to play, taking care on rural roads helps protect drivers, cyclists, walkers and residents.
