Current Priorities

Issue

S: To reduce knife-enabled watch robberies around Gloucester Road and Kensington High 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 - 'Look Up, Look Out' campaign.
R: This issue has been prevalent across AW BCU, and recent 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 target dangerous/antisocial cycling on pavements on/around Gloucester Road and Queen’s Gate.
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 anti-social 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).

Issue

S: To reduce TFMV offences in hotspot areas of KENSINGTON SQUARE, PRINCE OF WALES TERRACE, KENSINGTON COURT, SOUTHWELL GARDENS and QUEEN’S GATE GARDENS.
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/leaflet drops and working with RBKC to install signage/CCTV on affected streets.
R: This number of these type of offences has been seen rise over the summer months, and crime figures show that it is one of the most prevalent offences on the ward. This concern is shared by WP members.
T: This will be measured and reviewed at the next WP meeting (every three months).
