31/07/2006 Surrey Docks Safer Neighbourhood Steering Group Meeting on 18-7-2006 - Unofficial Report (Updated @ 12-8-2006)Unlike Rotherhithe SNT, Surrey Docks SNT Steering Group has adopted the format of a Public Meeting.
a) 10 Attendees (in alphabetical order of surname) - Mark Del Canto (Treasurer - Brunswick Quay Residents Association)
- Sergeant Roy Dawson (Manager - Surrey Docks SNT) - Vicky Green (Downtown)
- Cllr. David Hubber (Surrey Docks Ward)
- Kam Hong Leung (Rotherhithe Community Safety Forum)
- Ian McKay (Norway Dock Residents Association)
- David Meagher (Manager - Rotherhithe Community Wardens)
- Tok Ogunbiyi (Redriff Tenants Association)
- George Wells (Baltic Quay) - Kath Whittam (Vice Chair - Bywater Residents Association)
b) Crime Reporting & Local Crime Statistics
Sergeant Dawson requested for all callers to leave a "Contact Telephone Number" as well as the "Date" and "Time" of the Message to facilitate the processing of the voicemails and for call-back purposes.
Sergeant Dawson advised that it will be easiest to obtain "Local Crime Statistics" (e.g. for a particular street or Housing Estate) by making a direct request to Southwark Police Station under the Freedom of Information Act.
c) "Street Robbery" Down about 20%
Sergeant Dawson reported the good news which he claimed was largely due to the two highly successful "Special Robbery Squads" of Southwark Police - one based in Rotherhithe and one based in Peckham - that led to a marked improvement in Rotherhithe, Surrey Docks as well as Southwark at large.
[ Note : see "Rotherhithe Crime Statistics for 12 Months Ended 30-6-2006" in "Rotherhithe Crime Statistics & Survey Category" ]
d) RAMs (Reckless & Anti-Social Motorcycles)
This was set by the Steering Group as one of the Top Policing Priorities at the last Meeting on 26-4-2006.
Sergeant Dawson reported much progress has been made including a 3-Day Joint Operation in June 2006 of Safer NTs, Community Wardens and Met Police Traffic Division's Motorcycle Tasking Team. The availability of stronger resources and operational capability have reportedly produced useful results in recovering stolen bikes, reporting riders for various offences and providing a potent high visibility presence and deterrent.
There was a general consensus among all attendees that although the RAM problem has not completely disappeared, its occurrence and seriousness has fallen so much in the last three months that it will cease to remain a Top Policing Priority so that the scarce policing resources can be channelled to other more pressing demands.
e) Proposed CCTV Project at Redriff Road Red Bridge Underpass at Howland Quay
The proposal by Andy Bonnici of Surrey Quays Shopping Centre was warmly welcome. Sergeant Dawson offered to lend the support of Rotherhithe Police for this proposed project.
f) Redriff Estate : "Bicycle Theft" + Two ASBO Brothers
Reportedly, many tenants at Redriff Estate are very concerned about the high number of "Bicycle Theft" incidents.
Sergeant Dawson offered to provide Crime Prevention Advice.
Sergeant Dawson reported that two brothers (one late teenager and one young adult) who are not residents at Redriff Estate are subject to full ASBO and regularly visited the Redriff Estate neighbourhood. Allegedly, these two ASBO Brothers steal bicycles to sell for money and steal motorbikes for fun !
g) Bywater Place : Midday Break-in / Burglary
Reportedly, there was a midday break-in / burglary, supposedly by gaining access via a 3rd Floor Window. There was allegedly another similar incident recently and there was fear that the burglar is still active in the neighbourhood.
Crime Prevention Advice : Please be extra vigilant with open doors and windows in this current Heat Wave.
h) Brunswick Quay : "Car-Related Crime" and "Garage Break-Ins"
Reportedly, many residents are concerned with the recent high number of "Car-Related Crime" and "Garage Break-Ins".
Crime Prevention Advice : Don't display valuables or tempting articles inside the motor vehicles. Also, try to remove any signs (e.g. Sucker Mark left on Car Window after pulling off the Sat Nav for storage) that may attract Car Thieves.
i) Downtown : Anti-Social Parking of Motor Vehicles
Vickie Green praised PCSO Paul Gbogidi for his enthusiasm and good work.
j) Norway Dock Residents Association : Fishing-Related Anti-Social Behaviour
Ian McKay praised the invaluable good work of Barry Duckett and Rotherhithe Angling Club ("RAC") in helping combat Fishing-Related Anti-Social Behaviour.
k) Policing Priorities for Next 3 Months
- Dock / Waterway-Related Anti-Social Behaviour ("ASB")
Swimming in the Dock is not permitted and is dangerous. Fatalities have occurred in previous years and the groups that gather are frequently inconsiderate of others.
- Acquisitive Crimes (including Robbery, Burglary, Car Crime + Bicycle Theft)
l) Community Pay-back Scheme
Please send any request or suggestion to Surrey Docks SNT direct using the "RCSF Contacts List" below.
