Current Priorities

Issue

Concerns have been raised around a large group of young people loitering on Tower Hamlets Road and surrounding areas that are potentially drug dealing. In response to this coming to light, officers are conducting patrols more regularly in the areas concerned.

Action

Regular patrols and weapon sweeps. Conducting proactive plain clothes Operation.

Issue

Concerns were raised by the community about drug dealing within the magpie park area. In response to this officers will perform a number of targeted patrols over the next three months, specifically but not exclusively in magpie park and Tower Hamlets Road where more detailed issues have been highlighted.

Action

Targeted patrols around known areas used by the addicts

Issue

Concerns raised by residents of an address of a cuckooed resident. The people attending the address are drug users and causing problems for all residents of the block including ASB that seems to be connected to this. In response to this officers are going to conduct high visibility patrols on the ward not just specifically in this area, in the hope that this will deter this behaviour and reduce the ASB related incidents. There is also a closure order in place for this address.

Action

Proactive patrols and signposting to appropriate agencies

Upcoming Events

Ward Panel meeting

A meeting of the panel members to discuss local concerns and to and set priorities for the local police team.
