A new system of crime control is being launched on Banbury's Bretch Hill estate.
The initiative will tackle offending and other issues by providing a service that is tailor-made for the area.
It will involve police, councils, social landlords. The new approach is called Neighbourhood Management and the system will be introduced across the Thames Valley Police area over the next 18 months. By November next year, 13 neighbourhoods in Cherwell will each have their own service.
The Banbury scheme will get under way on Tuesday, June 6, with residents of Ruscote, Hardwick, and Neithrop being invited to a public meeting at Hillview Primary School, in Hillview Crescent, at 7pm to tell police and other agencies about issues that need tackling in their neighbourhoods.
Before then, residents are being asked to take part in a survey on crime and antisocial behaviour.
