Middle Park & Horn Park

There are a high number of e-scooters and e-bikes travelling around the ward. They are often being ridden at speed and without regard for others members of the public's safety. These vehicles are being ridden without insurance and not in accordance with a driving licence.

Issued 10 January 2026

My teams have been unrelentingly targeting criminals using two wheeled transport to commit their crimes. A significant amount of arrests/seizures and fines have been given since the priority came to light. My teams are now leading the charge in running operations involving our partner agencies aimed at combatting the criminality and anti-social behaviour committed by the riders. As part of the multi agency approach, officers are following up the arrests and seizures/destruction of the vehicles with our partners to ensure that the fullest amount of disruption is caused for any further usage of other vehicles. Community protection notices, warnings and ASB interventions are put in place ensuring that the safety of the area is improved long into the future as well as hitting the criminals in the pockets. Your local team will continue to drive down these offences getting the results that you have asked for.

This remains a strong priority for numerous residents and we will continue to work as hard as we can to stop any two-wheeled enabled crime.

Drugs.

Issued 10 January 2026

My officers have worked hard to combat and frustrate any drug activity in the area. The use of stop and search has increased and positive results have increased dramatically with the use of precision data informing the patrols. The stance for drugs is zero-tolerance and every caught offender has been appropriately dealt with. Those that engage are appropriately referred for support and any dealing/supply is being tackled robustly. My officers will continue to drive down the use and supply of drugs in the area seeking the strongest possible prosecutions. We will continue to execute drug warrants against addresses and apply for long term sanctions and ultimatums/orders seeking to further disrupt and frustrate any further drug usage.

You can help us by reporting any incidents directly to us or by reporting online at https://crimestoppers-uk.org/ - using crime stoppers guarantees your anonymity.

ASB (replacing personal robbery)

Issued 10 January 2026

My officers have continued to employ high-visibility patrols in the problem areas, and utilise stop and search where necessary. I am pleased to report that there has been a downward trend in reported robberies since this was highlighted as a local priority and in the last quarter there have been no reported robberies. Patrols and disruption tactics will continue over the winter months. I am pleased to report an overall reduction in robberies, achieving the task set.

ASB will take the priority focus for this period. By using accurate precision data and responding to your information on ASB, we are determined to drive this down both on the high streets and in residential streets. We will use a variety of tactics to combat any anti-social behaviour, continuing to work with our partners and community leaders to address any longer term strategies.

My officers have been conducting joint patrols with ASB officers from the Royal Borough of Greenwich, engaging with local businesses to design out the crime type and speaking to residents to reassure and gather your views. We will continue to do so and want to hear from you.
