About St.Albans Neighbourhood Watch BATCHWOOD WARD   St Albans North Neighbourhood comprises the Wards of Batchwood, Marshalswick North, Marshalswick South and Sandridge. Batchwood and Sandridge each have a dedicated Neighbourhood Constable. Marshalswick North and South share a Neighbourhood Constable. Each Ward also has a named PCSO. These Officers have an in depth knowledge of the issues affecting their Wards and tailor their work plans to deal with these when practicable. These Wards often share similar problems and the team work together at times to find both short and long term solutions to these.

Our Partners

There are currently two main issues affecting the North Neighbourhood.
In Marshalswick North there has been a significant rise in crime and anti-social behaviour at the Quadrant. Police have now addressed this and are working in partnership with local Councillors and District Council staff to put in additional measures, such as CCTV, to deter offenders. Local shop owners have also instigated the installation of 'alley gates' to prevent access to the rear of the shops.

It is hoped that these measures will improve the quality of life of local shopkeepers and residents.

In Batchwood there has been a general increase in minor crime such as graffiti. Police have increased patrols in the area and are working with the Litter Enforcement Officer at the District Council to provide long term solutions.

The Mobile Police Station continues to visit several locations in the Neighbourhood on a very regular basis, including Jersey Farm shops, the Quadrant and High Oaks shops. The local Neighbourhood Constables and PCSOs are regularly present on these visits, so please visit them to discuss any issues or concerns you may have.

The Neighbourhood Police Team are committed to helping reduce crime and ensuring all residents and visitors to the area enjoy a peaceful and safe environment. We would like to thank you for your continued support.

St Albans and district is one of the safest places in the country. Hertfordshire Police, St.Albans City & District Safety Partnership and Neighbourhood Watch work together to reduce crime and the fear of crime.
