Priorities for Village Ward SNT:
· Priorities remain unchanged from the last ward panel meeting.
· SNT responded to high number of offences involving robberies particularly during the summer which occurred within or around the Dulwich Park which were mainly theft of bikes and mobile phones.
· Worked actively during Halloween and Bonfire night
· New Police initiative has been introduced which involves undertaking surveys to establish which neighbourhoods need targeting to address issues of crime.
A question was asked about hand held speed cameras. The SNT explained that they have identified roads in the area however it was felt further discussion needed to take place with local Councillors. The Chair suggested members of the Dulwich Society and local residents attend the next ward panel meeting on the 18 January 2011.
Priorities for East Dulwich SNT:
· Priorities remain unchanged from the previous panel meeting, youth crime, burglary and offences concerning licensed premises.
