Area 5 – Safer Neighbourhood Report for Chadwell, Goodmayes and Seven Kings Wards.
This report consists of information that the Safer Neighbourhood Teams have been working on since the last Area 5 meeting.
Local Priorities
The local ward panels have set the following priorities for their respective teams.
Chadwell: Burglary
Road Safety
Goodmayes: Burglary
ASB by Motorists
Fly Tipping
Seven Kings: Burglary
ASB in High Rd Seven Kings
Burglary by Ward
This is a priority for all three wards.
Chadwell was highlighted as a Burglary hot spot. Additional patrols were added to the area and as a result Chadwell has seen some success in Burglary reduction and some good arrests including two by Chadwell SN officers actually catching suspects in the act whilst on foot patrol. I would still remind Residents that if they see any suspicious vehicles or persons to call police straight away. We have continued to hold street briefings to highlight the problem and spent more time patrolling hot spot areas on foot and bike, as well as leafleting a number of houses in the surrounding area to help protect residents. End of terrace and corner houses has also been visited by PCSO’.
Goodmayes have continued to dedicate daily burglary patrols to identified hot spot areas. We are running weekly crime prevention stalls / surgeries at various focal points throughout the ward. These have been taking place each Thursday and full details of the venues can be found on the internet. We are continuing to provide reassurance visits to victims of Burglary’s and deliver specific crime prevention advice.
Seven Kings have identified two hotspots on their ward following analysis of crime patterns. The areas are targeted with daily high visibility patrols, attention being paid to corner and end of terrace houses as these are a common point of entry for most opportunist burglars. Residents in the identified hotspots have been provided with home security advice leaflets to reduce the risk of burglary. The SN team run regular Crime Prevention stalls every third weekend at either Tescos or Homebase in the High Road Seven Kings. Dates are provided at the end of this report. The team have also run Burglary Awareness Groups at key locations on the ward including Sue Ryder, Elderly Residents accommodation and clubs and King Georges Hospital. If anyone would like to receive a presentation for their group, residents association, NHW or club, please contact the SN team.
Burglary - General
The CCTV Van was used successfully in the college during their Christmas prom but unfortunately due to technical difficulties the van was not deployed as often as hoped. The teams hope to make good use of the van in the forthcoming weeks. This will be high profile deployment in hotspots and at major traffic junctions. The CCTV van has ANPR capability that will also be utilised during its deployment.
The Adopt a Burglar programme is continuing, with six targets identified between the three teams. The teams visit the targets on a regular basis and ensure they are aware of police presence, reducing offending opportunities. Quality intelligence is submitted on all six targets regularly to build an intelligence profile.
Reassurance visits with all burglary victims and vulnerable residents continue. All SN officers have received practical Crime Prevention training from the borough Crime Prevention Officers. Should any ward resident require crime prevention advice, please contact you SN team who will arrange an appointment with you.
Homebase scheme had some success but not as hoped. The scheme will be re-assessed to see how it can be improved and how the teams can encourage more residents to re-assess their home security. Officers have also been given a small supply of portable alarms to give to the elderly and vulnerable victims of Burglary that are given when SN officers conduct their burglary follow up visit.
ASB by Ward
This is a priority for all three wards.
Chadwell continues to work on its ASB by youths and has highlighted two new areas that will also be targeted by patrols, which will enable officers to engage with the youths and help solve the problems and issues. They have also requested the LBR static CCTV. They continue to work closely with Redbridge College and can also report that the end of year prom held by the college was great success and passed off without incident. Operation Protect is now in place; that will see all Safer Neighbourhood teams across London patrolling their secondary schools and colleges after school.
Goodmayes officers have been tasked to provide daily high visibility reassurance patrols outside Mayfield School to deal with any parking issues that arise and any disorder should this occur.
Seven Kings have researched the problem highlighted by the ward panel. A baseline survey was conducted by the team over a number of days during different time. Commuters, residents, shoppers and businesses were asked their views on ASB in the High Rd when compared to the same time last year. 70% stated ASB had improved and felt High Road was a safer place to visit. Only 11% felt the ASB had become worse, with 19% stating it had remained the same. The team continue to patrol the High Road on a regular basis, enforcing the No Drinking Zone, parking issues and the low levels of ASB they encounter. Research shows there were only 10 incidents of disorder in a seven week period and not all resulted in criminal offences. ASB will be reviewed as a priority at the next ward panel meeting in January 2010.
ASB remains low across Seven Kings ward. There have been no significant incidents of note and ASB will be reviewed as a ward priority at this month’s ward panel meeting.
Road Safety by Ward
Chadwell have continued to police this area of concern. An enquiry re Mill haven was addressed; however there is not a suitable and safe area to conduct a speed operation. Local businesses have been spoken to re the private clamping in RENDEVOUS car park. Due to the inclement weather the Speed gun has not been used, but school and other patrols have been conducted as well as Drink drive awareness at the stations over the Christmas period. At time of writing it has not been possible to include the latest (21/01/2010) ANPR figures.
Due to limited staffing numbers over the festive period Goodmayes ward have been unable to run as many Speed Operation in the Abbotsford Road area as we would have liked. This will be addressed however over the forthcoming months where activity in this area will be increased.
Seven Kings have arranged a NIK UR REG event in the New Year. This will take place at Wickes in the High Road Seven Kings. Full details are listed below. Tamper proof screws will be fitted to the index plates on vehicles to prevent them being stolen and used in additional vehicle related crimes.
General Activity:
Chadwell SN and the Police Explorers collected a large amount of Groceries and non perishable gifts from the following places: Grove Primary School, Mayfield School, Tesco, High Road ,Quality Foods, Chadwell Supermarket, Chadwell Heath Lane, Grove Road Convenience Stores, Chadwell Heath, Londis, Chadwell Heath Shels Food & Wine, Four Brothers, High Road, that enabled them to make over 50 separate parcels, that have been distributed just before xmas to 4 care homes, Oasis Church and their Homeless unit, Well House and a number of elderly and vulnerable residents in and around area five. All donations were gratefully received.
