Current Priorities

Issue

Brief description - Violent related crime particularly robbery around Seven Kings Park, Newbury Park Underpass and back entrance to Seven Kings School in Charter Avenue. School pupils and commuters are targeted for their mobile phones when they leave school and train station.
During the spring and summer month’s incidents tend to increase due to longer daylight hours and greater footfall of people out and about.

Action

Conducted high-vis foot and mobile patrols, Street briefings, leaflet dropping locally and provided reassurance to the local community.

Also conducted school patrols at St Andrews Catholic School, Seven Kings School, St Margrets Church and Ley Street.

Issue

Brief description - Reduce theft of motor vehicles, including catalytic convertor thefts and theft from motor vehicles. SNT to target roads with the highest reported volume of MV crime. Analytics state Stainforth Road and Aldborough Road South had the highest number of MV crimes in the past 3 months.
With more people out and about in the spring and summer months and warmer weather expected, vehicle windows are often left open, clothing, bags and laptops left inside vehicles are stolen. This is perfect for opportunists.

Action

Conducted high visibility patrols reassuring the community and cocooning addresses affected by MV related crime. Also held Street briefings in MV related crime hotspot areas.

Issue

Brief description - Friars Close is a Private Estate with 80 properties. Non-residents in vehicles gathering in large numbers smoking cannabis, drinking alcohol, playing loud music and littering late at night to early hours of the morning.
During the warmer months incidents of ASB increase.

Action

Conducted high visibility patrols within the area being affected by ASB and engaging with individuals frequenting the area; Street briefings have also been conducted.

Upcoming Events

Street briefing

An outdoor meeting that any member of the public can attend held outdoors.
