SNT Update Minutes: Regarding Burglary; Unfortunately there has been a noticeable increase in the number of reported residential burglaries. These have affected the areas of the ward bordering Sydenham and Southwark. Our Neighbourhood Tasking Team have been tasked to patrol these areas and this will be done in both unmarked vehicles and marked carriers. If anyone needs any advice on suitable locks or crime prevention in general, they can contact us and this can be arranged. Motor vehicle crime; There has been an increase in Motor vehicle crime on our ward. The Neighbourhood Tasking Team have again been tasked to do patrols in the Forest Hill area for the next month to target Motor Vehicle Crime. Regarding Violence against the person; The number of reported crimes involving violence towards people over the last three months is again down compared to the previous reporting period. Regarding Millennium Gardens and the Town Centre; The SNT has received no complaints regarding Millennium Gardens since the last LA meeting. We have even received emails from residents thanking us for addressing this problem. If of course you have any concerns then please let us know. We have though received complaints from residents in nearby Redberry Grove and have had a meeting with colleagues from Lewisham Council as to the availability of covert cameras. I must stress though this would not be on a permanent basis, if indeed possible. We will though update residents on this subject. Regarding ASB by begging in the Town Centre, as stated previously, we are aware of different individuals frequenting the town centre from those previously dealt with. These people are being spoken to when found in the town centre and should they be found committing offences they will issued with a Community Protection Notice Warning. If anyone has any concerns over ASB in their area, please make contact with us either by ringing 020 8721 2723 or by e-mail at ForestHill.SNT@met.police.uk. Your call or e-mail will be dealt with in strictest confidence or alternatively, the public can contact us through either online at Crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling 0800 555 111 Our ward panel members have set our promises for the next three months. These are Crime Prevention around motor vehicle offences following our most recent complaints in Dartmouth Road, Sydenham Park, Sydenham Park Road and Longfield Crescent. ASB in the Town Centre has been retained to allow us to monitor those suspected to be begging and ASB by motorists. Following several complaints from residents living near to Manor Mount, this road will be the focus of our activity around this promise.
