Please review the following update regarding Anti Social Behaviour which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

 

Dear Resident

Overnight, we have been made aware of the emergence of a tented community that has appeared in Olivette Street, SW15.

We understand that the occupants of the tents were yesterday evicted from a squat in nearby Lacy Road.

Officers from Thamesfield policing team will be attending the location this morning to liaise with the group and establish their intentions. In addition, we will be organising a partner meeting with Wandsworth Council later today to establish a plan of action.

Please be assured that we are aware of the situation and are taking proactive steps to deal with the matter.

If you have any specific concerns, please contact the team to discuss.

Regards

Inspector Steve Burke
Putney Neighbourhood Policing team.
