Residents and local groups in Slough, Berkshire, will receive more specific safety updates following a new plan released by the local authority this week. On February 10, 2026, Slough Borough Council published its latest safety plan, which changes how officials alert the public about local issues and where they focus their staff.
The system uses the Slough Alert platform to send messages directly to people living in the area and Neighbourhood Watch volunteers. Instead of general reports, these updates will now focus on specific problems like anti-social behaviour and safety issues in local housing.
This change follows a series of inspections in 2025 that identified areas where local services needed to improve. The council is currently working with government commissioners to fix problems with property standards and safety that were highlighted in previous reports.
More than 20 Neighbourhood Watch groups in the area are expected to see changes in the type of information they receive to help keep their streets safe. The Safer Slough Partnership, which includes both the police and the council, will use the new plan to decide where to send resources based on these alerts.
