Current Priorities

Issue

ASB in subways on Windsor Road. People drink alcohol and use drugs.

Action

Hi visibility and plain clothes patrols. Joined operation with internal and external partners to reduce it. We have done a street briefing at First Drive where we spoke about VAWG and gave out hand out in regards to how to stay safe, especially with the nights getting darker. 8 residents turned out for this. They did say that in their area they do feel safe but there could be more lighting in the sub ways. Council have been made aware.

We have also gone into IBIS, Double Tree and Moxy and dropped off some VAWG leaflets to leave in their waiting area. When giving these hotels the leaflets I spoke to them about any VAWG offences that have taken place in their hotel and they said they only get a small percentage of them.

Issue

Tackling ASB issues related to street drinking in Avenue park

Action

Targeting areas where street drinking is a constant problem. Working with local council enforcements agencies to patrol affected areas for street drinking. Issuing. Identifying regular street drinkers and issuing ASB notices. Carrying out regular patrols in drug related crime hotspots – sometimes they are the same as street drinking hotspots.
11 ASB warning issued. Patrols to continue

Issue

Double Tree hotel is the most targeted hotel for theft from motor vehicle out of the three hotels on Cranford

Action

Regular and joint patrols with local neighbourhood groups to be more visible.
Condiucting plain close operation at the venue. We have emailed the manager of the DoubleTree hotel with quotes for security huts which is hoped will act as a deterrent for future TFMV. We had discussed the issue regarding TFMV from their car park with an Aviation Security officer and that was one of the suggestions.

We have also increased patrols in the area and to other vulnerable car park areas.
