The police are listening to the concerns of people in Westbury-on-Trym, Henleaze and Stoke Bishop
The neighbourhood forum meeting is at Venue 35 at 6.30pm.
At last month's meeting, speeding in Canford Lane and youths smoking cannabis in Falloden Way were the issues raised by local people.
Police pledged to target speeding motorists and also to step up patrols in Falloden Way and provide support and advice to young offenders.
People in Henleaze will get to have their say on issues of concern at a neighbourhood forum tomorrow at 6.30pm at Henleaze Library in Northumbria Drive.
At the last forum meeting, bad parking was the main gripe. Police pledged to target parking problem hot spots, including at schools where they receive lots of complaints. They promised to issue tickets as and when offences were identified.
Last week at a neighbourhood forum meeting for the Stoke Bishop area, speeding was also highlighted.
Police agreed to liaise with Bristol City Council with a view to introducing speed reduction measures. They also pledged high visibility patrols and to continue with the community speeding operation at highlighted hotspots including the Shirehampton Road junction with Cedar Park and Coombe Lane.
Burglary was also on the agenda. The police said their aim was to achieve a drop in reported offences over the coming months through liaising with their colleagues at Southmead police station, targeting known offenders, promoting crime prevention and liaising with the University of Bristol's security team.
