Current Priorities

Issue

1.Drug Dealing
-Young males involved in drug trade around Churchill Gardens Estate
-Drug users congregating in Bessborough Gardens involved in dealing.

Action

S- Young males involved in drug trade and use around Churchill Gardens Estate

M- A mixture of HI VIZ and plain clothed patrols targeting areas where drug use occurs. There will also be attendance at youths clubs on the estate as well as crime prevention stands within the estate. There maybe partnership working with local council and proactive units.

A- Through the targeted patrols and partnership working, we can see a reduction in youth drug activity.

R- This is an issue consistent with other large high rise estates with tower blocks across London.

T-This is ongoing and we will review results monthly from viewing CONNECT reports and speaking with members of the community.

Issue

ASB patrols targeting Grosvenor Road, Bessborough Gardens and Rivermills for drug related ASB. As well as targeted operations to prevent vagrancy related ASB

Action

S- Anti social behaviour that includes drugs, youths congregating vagrancy in and around the Bessborough Gardens and Rivermill areas in Pimlico South. Both are green spaces that have history of attracting ASB related issues causing concerns for residents.

M- Targeted patrols of both locations in HI viz and plain clothes alongside partner agencies such as the local authority when required.

A- A reduction in ASB related calls and CONNECT reports would evidence positive engagement.

R- These ASB issues are not isolated to the above areas, however do have a follow on effect on other areas close by.

T- Would review reports, CADs, CONNECTS weekly to confirm any reductions in ASB, although this would still be a long term project.

Issue

Target patrols around Lupas Street, Johnsons Place and Peabody Avenue. Preventing ASB and vehicle crime with the following: Scooters / Pedal Cycles / Deliveroo Bikes

Action

S- Lupus Street, Johnson Place and Peabody avenue are having issues with vehicle ASB that includes scoters on the pavement, pedal cycles and deliveroo bikes.

M- HI VIZ patrols in the areas mentioned above, STT to conduct operations with NPT to tackle the cycling on the pavement.

A- Through partnership working, the patrols and operations should see a reduction in vehicle ASB.

R- These issues occur across London, however locally, results would greatly benefit the local community.

T- Feedback from residents and a reduction in CONNECT asb's would evidence results. This is an ongoing issue and a timeframe not applicable.
