Issue
Following further reports of ASB and drug related crime we will Continue to hold crime prevention advice meetings at the community centre and to carry out foot patrols and mobile patrols in marked and unmarked vehicles.
Action
Orignally this related to the Longheath Gardens estate. Officers have been patrolling around that area and held community engagement meetings, following this we have seen a reduction in ASB reports. Whilst there is a reduction in reports on Longheath Gardens there has been an increase on the Stroud Green estate, as a result officers will be carrying out regular patrols and carrying out stop and searches around the estate where grounds exist.
Issue
There have previosuly been a number of motor vehicle crimes occuring in
The Glade/Gladeside. The ward team focussed on crime prevention through street breifings in thea rea as well as patrols in both marked and unmarked vehicles to deter and catch any potential offenders. This seemed to have the desired effect with a significant reduction in motor vehicle thefts in the area for a period of time. However, there appears to be an increase in these type of offences on the ward again.
Action
Through the use of contact sessions, street briefings and proactive patrolling the team aim to reduce the level of crime occuring on the ward through education on how to prevent our residents from becoming victims.
Issue
There have been a number of reports and comments made by residents of Woodmere avenue about possible drug related ASB involving people parked up in vehicles, we will be conducting patrols along Woodmere avenue and Woodmere gardens and will be holding street briefings in the area.
Action
Reports of Drugs on Woodmere avenue have continued, officers have been patrolling the area and along Woodmere Gardens, some stop and searches have already been carried out and officers will continue to patrol the area and engage with anyone found to be loitering in vehicles in the area.
