SYDENHAM HIGH STREET is a hot spot for ASB in SYDENHAM due to the relatively high footfall. ASB will be addressed through initial engagement to encourage perpetrators out of this behaviour. Where engagement fails ASB legislation will be used to issue warnings. Where there is community support Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) and Notices (CPNs) will be utilised to address behaviour.

Shops on SYDENHAM HIGH STREET have reported high levels of shoplifting in particular from a small number of prolific offenders.

This priority will be addressed by identifying offenders for pro-active arrest using CCTV, and joint police and commercial systems. Where prolific offenders are identified they will be targeted for Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) to address anticipated future offending.
