Current Priorities

Issue

St Mary Magdalene Academy and Highbury Corner
Recent increase in robberies around school times in these areas

Action

Use of stop and search powers when justified. Proactive plainclothes patrols in area, and introduction of Operation Trefoil.
Engagement and crime prevention to local businesses.

Issue

Busy location of Highbury Corner and Tube station. Busy area with potential drug use/drug dealing
At the McDonald's on Highbury Corner often groups of youth hang around and cause ASB.
Women and girls feeling intimidated walking in the area so very much a foucs on VAWG.

Action

To increase patrols in the area and focus on reducing crime and drug use.

Issue

Compton Terrace because of its secluded parts and darkened areas has become a haven for drug use and ASB. It is also an unsafe area for women so there is a strong VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) focus.

Action

Working with council to brighten areas with street lamps, cut back large amounts of foilage erasing dark hidden areas. Regular patrols by PCSO's in the area.
