Ward off crime
Preventing crime and nuisance is a regular topic
of discussion between residents, councillors
and neighbourhood police teams across the
borough’s 23 ward forums. You can join the
discussion and influence decisions.
T
here are lots of examples
of how ward forums have
helped improve safety.
After hearing a policing
report in their forum, councillors
and residents in the Lady Margaret
area of Southall recommended
spending some of their ward
budget on crime deterrents.
The police report had explained
how a dispersal order was to be
placed on an area around the shops
in Allenby Road that had been
suffering from burglary and motor
vehicle crime. The order gave officers
extended powers to move people on.
To support this action, the
forum decided to spend money
on additional measures, including
installing alley-gating and
relocating its public safety CCTV
camera to the problem area. The
camera is one of 24 portable units
bought by wards to support the
work of council and police teams.
Elsewhere, in other wards,
burglary prevention packs,
perimeter fencing, street lighting
improvements and two-way radio
systems for businesses to raise
alarms with each other, are some
of the safety measures undertaken
as a result of information provided
by community members attending
their ward forums.
Officers and organisations
regularly attend the meetings to raise
awareness on crime trends and advise
local people on matters of personal
safety, home security and how to deal
with anti-social behaviour.
HAVE YOUR SAY
To influence how your
neighbourhood’s safety concerns
