The Burghfield and Mortimer Neighbourhood Action Group is not a Sub Committee of the Parish Council, but a Partnership Meeting set up in conjunction with the Thames Valley Police, on which the Parish Council has two representatives and also provides full administrative support. Burghfield was selected as one of 16 areas for the introduction of the National Police Reassurance Project, and has been involved in revised police activities in a combined effort to reduce local crime and also the fear of crime. This group has now been extended to include 7 additional parishes, and time will tell if the larger group is successful.
