Court Way Pay & Display Car Park and Horns Road/A12

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. 
 

I am writing to inform you of our progress with regards to the following issues;

1) Court Way Pay & Display Car Park, Court Way, Barkingside.
2) Horns Road junction with Eastern Avenue (A12)
__________________________________________________________
1) Court Way Car Park

We have received numerous calls to the location relating to vehicle ASB - driving dangerously at speed and performing dangerous manoeuvres (thank you to those who have contacted us/101) and as a result of this, we have issued three Community Protection Notice - Written Warnings to those identified as causing the issues.

We have collaborated with The London Borough of Redbridge Council to ensure the area is properly cleaned and will continue our partnership working to address local concerns and ensure that the behaviour is dealt with accordingly.

2) Horns Road/Eastern Avenue (A12)

During the past few weeks, there has been a temporary fixed CCTV camera deployed at the location to address local concerns regarding vagrancy and begging.

We are in the process of issuing a Community Protection Notice - Written Warning to a male who has been begging at the traffic lights. We are also working to identify whether there is any appropriate support available to the individual. We appreciate that vagrancy is a sensitive issue and that there will be many differing viewpoints.

However, it is important to ensure that the person is safe and that we explore all avenues to see whether there are more appropriate ways to manage the issues that begging causes.

We would encourage those who wish to donate to do so to registered charities (who can provide the appropriate support), without perpetuating the issues that many within our local communities report 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.
