Subject: Re: Southwark News : Proposed Rotherhithe Community Safety Special Feature Article on Sergeant Roy Dawson of Rotherhithe Police + Rebeka Clark + Cllr. Lisa Rajan + 5 Photos + 2 S/News Articles Lisa : Thank you for your email below. I welcome the keen interest that you have shown in my proposed Southwark News Special Report as a collective "Goodbye Gift of Goodwill" to Sergeant Roy Dawson from the Rotherhithe Community. I would like to hereby make two suggestions of how you and Rotherhithe Community Council ("RCC") can be incorporated into my proposed "Rotherhithe Community Safety Success Story" that Chris Mullany, Joint Editor of Southwark News has kindly offered to help with:
1) RCSF's Deputation by Barry Duckett & myself at RCC Meeting for the Nightly Lock-Up of King George's Field
Roy has kindly offered the full support of Rotherhithe Police via his written report to Southwark Council. I have understood from Barry Duckett, Chair of Canada Estate Tenants & Residents Association that this successful venture has been very much appreciated by the Local Residents who used to suffer from a high level of nightly anti-social behaviour.
2) RCC's Crime Surveillance & Public Safety CCTV Projects for Albion Channel, Surrey Water and Russia Dock Woodland
Roy and his team have offered professional advice and strong support for these projects by working in collaboration with the "Multi-Agency Groups" involved.
3) London Clean Up Week on 9-3-2006 { See Photo (e) below ]
Mini-bike Blitz in Rotherhithe that was a joint operation of Rotherhithe Police & Rotherhithe Community Wardens.
Chris & Jon :
I have spoken with Steve Cornish (Chair of The Friends of Russia Dock Woodland) yesterday who too has welcome my proposed Southwark News Big Story and lent his support. Steve has asked to clarify that the generous donation of musical equipment by Rotherhithe Police as referred to in my email below to you of 19-7-2006 @ 11:04 PM were used by the fast-rising Rotherhithe Band, "The Horne", to teach local kids at Canada Estate Tenants Hall every Saturday as their "Music & Mentoring Community Payback Programme" in return for the strong support they have received in their times of need - a wonderful "Rotherhithe Community Building Success Story" in its own right.
I would like to hereby recommend another person, Rebeka Clark (Manager of Stave Hill Ecological Park ("SHEP") & Southwark Woman of The Year 2006 (Active in the Community Category) to be considered as a potential interviewee. Rebeka and Steve have both worked tirelessly together in conjunction with Roy and his team and Southwark Council to combat crime and anti-social behaviour in Russia Dock Woodland ("RDW") and SHEP. Their many "War Stories" in fighting against the all odds to reclaim RDW and SHEP for the "Decent Majority" that included the latest and first ever "Rotherhithe Music & Arts Festival in RDW" on 16-7-2006 have all been well documented by Southwark News.
Please find attached herewith 5 photos [ see Items (c) to (g) below ] and two Southwark News articles [ see Items (a) to (b) below ], all with corresponding dates in brackets, for your consideration for our latest "Southwark News Big Story" joint venture:
(a) Dispersal Order (190505) (Southwark News article)
(b) Mini-Bikes in RDW (151205) (Southwark News article)
(c) RCSF DPM Meeting (181005)
RCSF Representatives at the 2nd Stage of the 3-stage Assessment Process for RCSF's nomination for "The Deputy Prime Minister Award for Sustainable Communities Award 2005" when Jack Pringle, President of the Royal Institute of British Architects, one of the award assessors, met with RCSF representatives at Surrey Quays Shopping Centre which has kindly volunteered to host this event.
(d) Rotherhithe Youth Meeting (021105)
"Rotherhithe Crime Survey Working Group" strategy meeting at London City Hall under the leadership of Val Shawcross AM to identify and lend support to a potential "Turn Key Project" to provide the much needed "Positive Activities" to help combat "Youth Crimes" in Rotherhithe. The "Rotherhithe Youth Club Project" which incorporates the "Canada Estate Music & Mentoring Program" has received strong support from Roy & his team.
(e) Sgt Roy Dawson + London Clean Up Week (090306)
(f) Surrey Docks Police (180904)
The "Meet The Local Residents" that Roy has requested RCSF to help organised soon after he has started his new role to lead the newly introduced Surrey Dock Ward Safer Neighbourhood Police Team - one of the first in Southwark and Great London at large.

A "Happy Faces Group Photo" starring Gill Davies (Southwark Council's Strategic Director of Environment & Leisure, including the Community Wardens Service), Sergeant Roy Dawson & PC Richard Skinner; Roy Wayre (the first and much respected Manager of Rotherhithe Community Wardens Service); Andie Byrnes (Founder of Rotherhithe Pets & Wildlife Support Website); all three Surrey Docks Ward Councillors, ....... This photo is an excellent example of our "Multi-Agency Crime Fighting Partnership in Rotherhithe" which counts Southwark News among our greatest benefactors.
As always, please let me know should you require my assistance.
Many thanks again for all Southwark News have done for Rotherhithe Community Safety Forum. Have a great weekend !
All best wishes Kam

Subject: Southwark News : Proposed Rotherhithe Community Safety Special Feature Article on Sergeant Roy Dawson of Rotherhithe Police
Dear Chris Thank you very much for your kind email below and the prompt and positive response to my suggestion of a special feature article on Roy Dawson. I think if Southwark News can interview a diversified group of people like that for the 1-page article for the Rotherhithe Crime Survey Official Launch and Envelop Stuffing Day on 12-9-2004" with many unique features/insights as well as a great "Common Interest" in terms of "Safer Neighbourhood Policing" throughout Greater London, the proposed Southwark News' special article has the great potential of generating a lot of public interest both in Rotherhithe and beyond. I have forgot to include two other points listed in my initial email below : a) Roy has given strong support to Surrey Quays Shopping Centre without which their recently launched Home Office Award-Winning Business Against Crime Scheme - the first of its kind in Southwark - would not be possible. b) Roy was one of the two top-level representatives from Rotherhithe Police that gave strong support to RCSF at the 2nd Stage of the 3-stage Assessment Process for RCSF's nomination for "The Deputy Prime Minister Award for Sustainable Communities Award 2005" when Jack Pringle, President of the Royal Institute of British Architects, one of the award assessors, met with RCSF representatives at Surrey Quays Shopping Centre. Please find below my suggestion of some potential interviewees for the proposed Southwark News special: i) Inspector Mark Johnson + Roy Dawson & Team at Rotherhithe Police ii) Chief Inspector Chris Hafford - Head of Safer Neighbourhood Policing in Southwark iii) Val Shawcross AM and Cllr, Fiona Colley to give the GLA's angle, including the Rotherhithe Crime Survey & Working Group iv) Gill Davies (Strategic Director for Environment & Leisure - including Community Wardens Service) to give her view on multi-agency partnership v) Ian Moore & Andy Bonnici - the give the Rotherhithe Business' perspective vi) Barry Duckett & Steve Cornish : to give the Local Residents perspectives, one in each wards and cover both Private Residents & Council's Tenants There is a lot of information on the RCSF's Blog and I am happy to supply a few "exclusive" photos that others like South London Press will not have :-) Many thanks again for the strong and continual support from Southwark News. All best wishes Kam ----- Original Message ----- I've copied this into Jon, who will be in touch.

Dear Chris & Kevin I hope you and yours are well. I have heard from Sergeant Roy Dawson at the Surrey Dock Ward Safer Neighbourhood Steering Group Meeting last night that he is expecting to move to a new post in the Met Police's Transport Unit once a replacement has been found for him. I thought Southwark News may be interested in doing a report about Roy and his ground-breaking "Safer Neighbourhood Policing" efforts in Rotherhithe which has a lot of special features which included: 1) Rotherhithe has benefited from one of the 2nd wave of "Safer Neighbourhood Policing Teams" that were introduced in a 4-year Step Change Roll-Out Program, well ahead of most of the other boroughs in Greater London. The "Management Meetings" of Roy's Team have changed its format from an exclusive "Steering Group" to a "Public Meeting" in a conscious effort to increase "Public Accountability" and "Community Involvement". 2) Roy used to run a "Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team" that served both "Rotherhithe Ward" and "Surrey Docks Ward" until its split in March this year. I guess it was a truly unique arrangement that resulted from the creative thinking of Commander Ian Thomas & Co. 3) "Youth Crime & Anti-Social Behaviour", two of the most talked-about crimes nationally have long been the most prevalent types of crime in Rotherhithe. Roy is one of the most qualified police sergeants to talk about them. 4) Roy has been charged with the great responsibility to enforce the first ever "Dispersal Order" (Albion Street Dispersal Zone) in Southwark under The Anti-Social Behaviour Act. 5) Roy was a member of the "Rotherhithe Crime Survey Working Group" under the leadership of Val Shawcross AM that has successfully used "Positive Activities" to help combat "Youth Crimes" in Rotherhithe. We were the first to support Barry Duckett's idea of using "Music & Mentoring" ("M&M") to combat "Youth Crime" in the Albion Street Area. Roy has used £5,000, a big part of the annual budget of the Rotherhithe Safer Neighbourhood Community Fund to buy the much needed musical equipments for "The Horne" before most people have ever heard of them. 6) Roy has succeeded in securing the help of Commander Ian Thomas to visit Russia Dock Woodland ("RDW") to lend support to the "CRAM Campaign" that was jointly run by RCSF and The Friends of Russia Dock Woodland Group last December to combat "Reckless & Anti-Social Riding of Motorcycles ("RAMs")" in RDW. There has been a marked decrease in the number of RAM incidents in Rotherhithe in recent months. 7) Last but certainly not least, Roy has to deal with very demanding "customers" like Barry Duckett, Steve Cornish and myself :-) I would gladly provide you with more information and may be some photos also should Southwark News be interested in running a special feature report on Roy. I think it will also be fun if Roy's Team Members and Customers can be interviewed to help give a comprehensive and colourful picture of what "Safer Neighbourhood Policing" is all about. I am sure Roy will be the best qualified person to "Tell It All" via Southwark News and I for one will want to read all about it. All best wishes Kam

Subject: Police still waitng to receive CCTV footage Kam I hope that you are well and will try to meet with you soon for a general catch-up. Apologies for the slow response to your previous e-mail re the above but I have been having a few problems with my e-mails during the last week. As you know the centre works closely with the police who view CCTV recordings on a regular basis within the centre’s security control room; should police require a copy of any CCTV recording then a “release” form is completed and a copy burnt to disk normally the same day as a request is made. I have checked with the security team and they are unaware of any outstanding requests for supply of CCTV footage currently. For information though the centre has supplied CCTV evidence to the police within the last 3 months relating to theft of bicycles and one piece of evidence supplied resulted in the culprit receiving a custodial sentence. Everyday CCTV recordings are kept for a period of 30 days before being erased to comply with data protection requirements. I hope that the above provides some clarification and if the centre receives any request for footage in connection with the incident you detailed then I will ensure that all relevant recordings held are made available without delay.

Re the RCSF and achievement of its objectives, I think it, or rather you, should be commended for providing a regular news source to all interested parties which ensures members are kept aware of local community safety issues and responses to these. This information sharing does, I believe, help keep a focus on community safety and facilitate any actions required. It may be beneficial for the future to investigate whether police, local authority / businesses have any funding, or other resource, available for particular projects that they would like to see happen in the Rotherhithe area and to see if the RCSF could help to co-ordinate and deliver these. Daytime meetings are easier for Andy/I to attend although I know are difficult for you – if you ever want to convene a daytime RCSF meeting, which could include a Saturday, then the centre’s conference room is available to use. Hope the above is of some use. Regards, Ian. Ian Moore Centre Manager SEGRO Surrey Quays Shopping Centre SE16 1LL CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This communication is for information only.

1) Members News a) 4th Anniversary of RCSF on 5 June 2007 A big THANK YOU for your participation and support to date. I wish to know if RCSF is achieving its publicly declared business objectives and to continually find ways to improve on service delivery.

"Good Samaritan" by Maggie, Bermondsey [ Southwark News Reader's Letter @ 8-2-2007 (Page 10) ]
"I would like through the pages of Southwark News to say thank you to the kind young man who found my purse after I had left it on a bench in Surrey Quays Shopping Centre on 26-1-2007 (Friday). He went out of his way and tracked me down to hand it back and would not accept even the smallest reward. I think it should be made known that there are still decent, honest people around."
Please see below the "Action Against Business Crime Safer Business Award Certificate" and accompanying "Press Release" as well as the notification email from Ian Moore (Surrey Quays Shopping Centre Manager) for an example of a successful "Multi-Agency Community Safety Partnership" for combatting "Crime" and the "Fear of Crime" in Rotherhithe.

Kam I thought you would be interested to learn that the Surrey Quays Business against Crime partnership passed a final assessment today and has been awarded the Safer Business Award (awarded under the Home Office’s Action against Business Crime iniative). In the next few weeks an award ceremony will take place at the centre at which the partnership will receive its plaque and hopefully this will generate some favourable press. Take-up amongst retailers in the scheme has been high and members of the partnership have been issued with photo-files, the images themselves having been provided by the police under an agreed set of protocols. I trust that you are well and will update you soon on the successes of the partnership. Regards. Ian.

RCSF Members have worked long, hard and well together to make RCSF a success. Val Shawcross AM, GLA Representative of Lambeth & Southwark, has kindly nominated RCSF for the Home Office's "Taking a Stand Awards 2005" as described in her email of 11-1-2006 @ 12:29pm below. RCSF warmly welcome and thank Val for her kind initiative and public recognition of RCSF, above all, her long-standing and consistent strong support for RCSF from its inception. It is a great pleasure to share the good news regarding the latest nomination while bearing in mind that there is a risk that RCSF will not win the award.
"Anti-Social Behaviour" can have a devastating impact on people and the places we live, hold back the regeneration of our most disadvantaged areas and creating the environment in which crime can take hold. However, if more people unite to take action, TOGETHER we can make a big change for the better by turning the "Fear" and "Intimidation" caused by "Anti-Social Behaviour" into "Strength" to tackle it. The only way we can ensure that communities are the kind of places we all want to live in, is by taking action against the "Minority" who make others' lives a misery. There is a role for EVERYONE in saying enough is enough and do something positive to combat the problems.
The "Taking a Stand Awards" first started in 2003 as part of the Government's "TOGETHER Campaign" to tackle "Anti-Social Behaviour" by giving recognitions to individuals and groups that have made a real difference by "Supporting The Community" or "Helped Tackled Anti-Social Behaviour". There were over 30 Award Winners in 2003 from around the country. The 2004 Awards attracted over 600 nominations with 100 Award Winners. The Home Office has hoped for a record numbers of nominations for the 2005 Awards. The last date for nominations for the 2005 Awards was 13-1-2005 and Award Winners will be notified at the End of March 2006 (NOT February 2006 as initially announced). The 2005 Overall Award Winner will receive a Cash Prize of £5,000 and all other 2005 Award Winners will each receive a Cash Prize of £1,000.

The award scheme attracted a large number of entries once again this year and as such the competition was incredibly strong. I regret to inform you that your project was not found to sufficiently address the strict criteria for this award and has not been selected to proceed to the next and final stage of the assessment process. The assessment panel considered that the project would perhaps be more suited to the criteria of the BURA Charitable Trust Awards for Community Regeneration. We will forward some background information on these awards in order that you may consider if this is the case. These awards are run on an annual basis. Whilst no dates are confirmed as yet for next year, we would anticipate inviting entries in the spring and will arrange for entry material to be sent to you at this time. We would like to thank you for the interest you have shown in the award programme and the time and effort you have taken to apply as well as host a panel member visit. We wish you every success in the future with your project. Best regards The First Hand team Award Criteria and Assessment Process
Award Criteria Nominations were invited for projects and initiatives of all types and sizes that are contributing to making towns, cities and rural communities in England better places in which to live and work. ALL projects and initiatives must demonstrate active involvement of the community including business and/or residents. ALL projects and initiatives should be advanced to a state where there is a record of success with demonstrable results and should meet some, or all, of the following criteria:
Assessment Process
All nominations are scrutinised by an independent Assessment Panel administered by BURA. Panel Members are neither included in any discussion nor assessment concerning projects in which they have had direct involvement. The assessment process is divided into three stages. Stage 1 All nominations are assessed on paper, to ascertain whether they sufficiently meet the specified criteria. Stage 2 Projects that sufficiently meet the criteria are visited by a member of the Panel, and a written report submitted to the Panel for collective discussion. A short-list of projects is then agreed. Stage 3 Projects on the short-list receive a visit from a further member of the Panel. A second written report is submitted to the Panel for further discussion and the recommended finalists are selected from this list for final approval by The Deputy Prime Minister. One of the Award Assessment Panel Members, Mr. Jack Pringle, President of the Royal Institute of British Architects visited Rotherhithe and met with RCSF Representatives on 18-10-2005 (Tuesday) from 10:00am to 12:00 Midday. Attendees of this 2-Hours Assessment Meeting, listed from Left to Right as appeared in the Group Photo above were :
Mr. Barry Duckett (Council Tenant) Mr. David Meagher (Southwark Council - Rotherhithe Community Wardens Scheme Manager)
