Current Priorities

Issue

To address community concerns relating to women and girls feeling safe while walking alone or out at night. To prevent any members of the public feeling unsafe when out at any time.

Action

Patrols continue to be conducted. Engagements continue along with partners.Action –In relation to Phone snatches in the late hours of the evening, within one month leaflet drop 3 streets where the crime is most prevalent. Within one month, liaise with BTP to have joint messaging displayed at all Transport hubs on the Ward. SNT officers will hold ‘Teams’ meetings with Partners such as Lewisham Council, Businesses and Councillors every three months to monitor results and amend strategy.

Issue

Reports of drug dealing / misuse and associated criminality such a Shoplifting, particularly in Hither Green Lane and in the environs of St Mungos Hostel will be address by nominating this as the default patrol area for DWO and PCSO officers to undertake High Viz. preventative patrols once every tour of duty when resources allow . Using powers of stop and search where appropriate and lawful. Liaising with residents to build confidence and intelligence

Action

SNT would like to reduce all Drug related activity in the Hither Green Ward, this being one of Hither Green SNT most reported crimes which facilitates further ASB calls such as urinating, intimidation and Graffiti. We will undertake the required training to deploy NOMAD cameras and look to proactively prosecute two Drugs related arrests /Warrants per month. We will report back to Councillors and residents at the Ward Panel meeting every three months.

Issue

Motor vehicle crime, instances have increased therefore SNT will research crimint and cris on a daily basis to target the areas and undertake uniformed High Viz patrols .

Action

Increase recovering vehicles which have been stolen, this will be done by referring all stolen vehicles to the ANPR database and will check daily CONNECT reports to ensure the PNC maker is in place.
We will Lewisham Council Trading Standards to involve Garages with preventative messaging and within two months identify two streets for NOMAD deployment/ pro-active patrolling.
