The local community has expressed concerns regarding the issue of robbery and phone snatches in the local area. Residents have stated that there is an issue with phone snatching taking place particularly along the A10 and Stoke Newington High Street junction with the Crossway N16. The issue appears to take place at various times of the day in which members of the public have reported their phones snatched from their hands.

This is a long term goal and the safer neighbourhood team hopes to have made progress by the next ward panel meeting.

The safer neighbourhood team will continue to conduct regular patrols, engaging with shops and residents to safeguard those in the area.

Also, the local SNT will work closely with the local council enforcement officers, as well as the local Town Centre Team in order to identify prolific offenders.

Local residents have expressed concerns around ASB, drug taking and antisocial behaviour which is happening around Shacklewell Row/Hindle House/ Somerford Grove. There are a lot of reports of cars sitting idling or driving at high speed.

We will be including this area in our daily patrols and also changing our shifts to focus on the target times that this ASB is occuring. We are doing multi-agency work alsongside the council to improve fencing, building access and parking restrictions.

Increase in ASB within Cressington Close

Officers are conducting regular patrols, particularly during the times of the ASB offending. We are looking to build a picture of the regular offenders and aim to issue CPW/CPNs to those involved.
