Officers from the local Safer Neighbourhoods Teams to update the meeting.
Minutes:
PC David Turner (Peckham Rye Safer Neighbourhoods Team) explained that the current ward priorities were burglary and anti-social behaviour (ASB) on the Rye Hill Estate. Officers had put up notices in shops to raise awareness about burglaries as they tend to increase in the run up to Christmas. Following burglaries in the area known as The Gardens a neighbourhood watch group was set up. There had been no burglaries in the area in the last three months in that area.
Residents were reminded not to let strangers into their home without an agreed appointment. Reputable utility companies would arrange meetings in a safe way. There had been a number of incidents involving bogus contractors and even fake policemen.
Anti-social behaviour on Rye Hill Estate had been very quiet and a number of people had been stopped and searched. There was very little disorder during the Halloween / Fireworks period.
In response to questions, PC Turner said that he would look into whether some detailed statistics could be made available without infringing data protection. The next Peckham Rye ward panel would be at the Harris Girls Academy.
ACTION: He would find out and circulate the details of the other ward panel meetings.
