Higham Ferrers

The new priorities for this period (October 2026 to March 2027) remain the same:
• Drug Dealing/Misuse
• Road Safety and Road Traffic Offences
• ASB Nuisance Motorcycles

Our priorities are set for a six month period and reviewed every three months to ensure we continue to deal with what matters most to local people, taking account of feedback shared in our local priorities survey and local crime data.
