There are a number of small housing estates that are housing persons considered to be at an increased risk of being cuckooed and exploited. The areas are well known for ASB namely fly tipping and inappropriate use of motor vehicles. There is also evidence of drug use/supply.

The local policing team will address this by increasing patrols in the area and by working in partnership with the council, housing and other agencies to target known offenders. We will support victims and strive to safeguard those considered vulnerable. The team will work closely with Project Adder to make referrals for those struggling with substance abuse. We will use powers under the ASB, Crime and Policing Act to serve ABC’s and Community Protection Notices to curb offending. We will closely monitor outstanding offenders and execute arrest warrants.

There has been a notable rise in the reporting of dog related offences across the ward. SPC ward accounts for 45% of all dog offences committed in Bromley over the past 6 months. Offences include dogs being dangerously out of control in both public and private settings, as well as possessing prohibited breeds without an exception certificate.

The local policing team will be intelligence led, identifying hotspot locations and look to problem solve through targeted interventions, timely investigations and partnership working. We will also be proactive in encouraging responsible dog ownership at various community events and through Social Media messaging.

Residents report excessive speed by motorists at various locations throughout the ward. Officers are committed to holding two speed awareness/enforcement operations across the ward cluster and where possible, will include input from Roads Transport Policing Command (RTPC) and utilize ANPR technology to identify offenders and contribute to road safety as part of our commitment to vision zero.

Officers are tasked to carry out speeding operations at hotspot locations, identified through intelligence and local community feedback. These operations often involve working in partnership with Safer Transport and the Roads Policing Unit, who have access to specialist equipment/vehicles specific to the task. Officers are tasked with meeting roads policing objectives as part of Bromley Council's Community Impact Days.
