All open spaces in Bromley are now covered by a PSPO to deal with low level anti social behaviour. If our parks and open spaces do not have a uniform presence at location crime tends to increase especially with teenagers. They tend to congregate and become involved with underage drinking/drugs which in turn will lead on to other issues. All of our parks and open spaces if able are patrolled every shift. Recent intel suggests Widmore Recreation Ground/Pembroke Park Bickley is being used for after school fights. Jubilee Country Park, Whitehall and Widmore Recreation ground areas will be patrolled when on shift.
