Residents have reported that drugs are being dealt from a vehicle around Poplar High Street, the Will Crooks Estate and Shirbutt Street. This is causing upset because lots of residents see it and the drugs are being consumed in Poplar Recreation Ground, where children are playing.

Poplar SNT will patrol the area regularly, using our stop and search powers and gathering intelligence on vehicles suspected to be involved.

There are a number of people driving dangerously down Poplar High Street. This includes racing and anti-social behaviour; residents feel it is only a matter of time before there is a serious incident on the high street.

Poplar SNT will use road traffic powers to stop and seize cars where appropriate.
