One of the issues that frequently came up on the doorstep and in surveys during the recent local elections was policing and anti-social behaviour.

At a meeting in 2021, many local councillors accepted the need to raise the tax for policing on the basis of all the additional officers and investigations that could be carried out. These pledges by the now departed Hampshire Chief Constable do not appear to have been met.
