Current Priorities

Issue

ROBBERY
S: To reduce knife-enabled watch robberies in the streets either side of Kensington Church Street.
M: Measured by the number of such crimes reported to police.
A: This can be achieved by operations targeting robbery hotspot areas, high-visibility foot and cycle patrols, targeted use of stop and search tactics, and target hardening - crime prevention advice and engagement via social media.
R: This issue has been prevalent across AW BCU, and previous months have seen offences spreading from Westminster into RBKandC. A number of these offences have received viral coverage on social media, and this type of crime continues to be a matter of concern for WP members.
T: This will be measured and reviewed at the next WP meeting (every three months).

Issue

S: To reduce residential burglary offences in the streets between Kensington Church Street and Campden Hill Road.
M: Measured by the number of such crimes reported to police in these areas.
A: This can be achieved by high-visibility foot and cycle patrols, targeted use of stop and search tactics, and target hardening through crime prevention advice via social media and face-to-face community engagement events.
R: This number of these type of offences has risen over the summer months. Historically this type of crime tends to increase in the months leading up to Christmas, and also as the weather becomes warmer and windows are left open.
T: This will be measured and reviewed at the next WP meeting (every three months).

Issue

S: To target dangerous/antisocial cycling on pavements on/around Kensington High Street and Holland Park Avenue.
M: Measured by number of fixed penalty notices issued, as well as anecdotal evidence seen by officers, WP members and local residents.
A: This can be achieved by joint operations with neighbouring wards targeting antisocial cyclists with education and enforcement, as well as use of social media to educate and inform the local public about traffic legislation.
R: This has been flagged up as a concern by WP members across the whole cluster for a number of months.
T: This will be measured and reviewed at the next WP meeting (every three months).
