Clearing of overgrown areas known for Anti-Social Behaviour

Clearing of overgrown areas known for Anti-Social Behaviour

Here’s a quick update on anti-social behaviour locally. We know it can be distressing, but we’re working closely with partners to make the area safer and support residents. 
 

Dear Residents,

Northbury Ward Safer Neighbourhood Team have been working hard to minimise the activity of undesirables using overgrown and isolated areas for the purpose of Drug Use or Anti-Social Behaviour.

We have have been working close with Community Payback Team to clear these areas and make them more open, visible areas to see. This will be ongoing and we will look to continue this going forward as a success story for the many areas we have on the ward.

We recently arranged to have the overgrown areas on Victoria Road, Barking completely cleared and cleaned, with particular attention paid to the area near to The Sienna Building block.

Thank you very much and we look forward to being active on all of the hotspot areas on the ward as a priority to us!

Across London we’ve put hundreds more officers on the frontlines of community crime-fighting teams, upping visible patrols in the right ‘hot spots’ so we can deter and catch criminals - including with new tech like live facial recognition cameras, drones and e-bikes. 

Antisocial behaviour can come in many forms and can require support from more organisations than just the police. A full list of what we categorise as antisocial behaviour is available on our website.  

If you have experienced anti-social behaviour or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk or call the non-emergency number 101.  

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org
