·        Close Co-operation with Town Council – Farnham Community Task Force works closely with Farnham Town Council to address community safety issues both in the town centre and in surrounding areas of the town.

·        Community Safety Day – A very successful Community Safety Day was organised by the Town Council and the Task Force in April 2009. The event took place in Gostrey Meadow and featured a number of local organisations with an involvement in community safety. It was repeated in conjunction with the Farnham Spring Festival in May 2010.

·        Anti-Litter Campaign – Task Force has organised an anti-litter poster competition amongst primary school children for several years, and the winning posters have been displayed throughout the town. “Litter picks” have been undertaken in and around the town centre, and more bins for litter and cigarette butts have been installed at sites identified by the Task Force.

·        Spring Clean Day – Task Force is promoting a drive to get every part of the community involved in cleaning up their own neighbourhood on a Spring Clean Day in 2010.

·        Safety in Gostrey Meadow – Following a proposal from the Task Force, strongly supported by Students & Police representatives, providing lighting along the footpath through Gostrey Meadow became a Town Council project, which was successfully completed a few years ago. The Task Force now hopes to be able to help support the installation of CCTV near the new bandstand, acting on behalf of the former Farnham PCPG (Police & Community Partnership Group).

·        Street Cleaning – Task Force is trying to arrange for Waverley Borough Council’s street cleaning schedule to be published regularly in the Farnham Herald and/or on the Town Council website. Residents will be able to check when their streets are supposed to be cleaned and report any problems to the council through this website (see “Areas of Concern”).

·        Dangerous Car Park Exit – Task Force identified a need for better signs at the exit from Central Car Park by the private car park in order to reduce the number of accidents at this point. Waverley Borough Council took note and installed clear “Give Way” and two-way traffic signs.
