Local Priorities
Antisocial Behaviour (ASB)
We will tackle antisocial behaviour by focusing on locations and individuals linked to repeat issues. Officers will carry out high visibility patrols, review incidents reported as ASB, and take appropriate action where behaviour crosses into criminality or involves vulnerable people. Where appropriate, we will use enforcement powers alongside partnership working to prevent further harm. Tools such as ASB warnings, notices, and Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) may be used to deal with persistent offenders.
Issued: 1 Apr 2026
Status Update
We have already started targeted leaflet drops and high visibility patrols in areas affected by antisocial behaviour. We have also increased public engagement events, giving residents and businesses more opportunities to speak directly with local officers. Details of upcoming events are shared on the Met Engage platform, where you can meet members of the team and tell us about any concerns affecting your area.
Actioned: 19 Apr 2026
Cycling Offences
We will take action against cycling offences that put pedestrians and other road users at risk. This includes cycling on pavements, failing to stop at red lights, and riding in a careless or anti social manner. Officers will use a combination of engagement, education, and enforcement to improve safety and compliance.
Issued: 1 Apr 2026
Status Update
We have already taken enforcement action, issuing our first Fixed Penalty Notice on Kentish Town Road to a cyclist who failed to comply with a red traffic signal. Officers will receive targeted input from experienced colleagues to ensure cycling offences are dealt with correctly and that prosecutions are pursued where appropriate. Joint ward operations are also being planned to address cycling offences both on our ward and across neighbouring wards..

Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)
Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls is a priority for this team. Officers will patrol identified locations where women and girls may feel unsafe and will respond positively and robustly to reports of harassment, abuse, or violence. All reports will be fully investigated, and victims will be supported throughout.
We work closely with partner agencies and licensed premises to safeguard those at risk and to identify, disrupt, and arrest offenders. Officers will also carry out targeted patrols of open spaces, particularly at times when concerns are highest.
Our approach is informed by what women and girls tell us, as their experiences and concerns shape how and where we patrol to help keep them safe
Issued: 1 Apr 2026
Status Update
We have a number of initiatives planned to address Violence Against Women and Girls. This includes a women only meeting on the ward, giving women the opportunity to meet the local team and share their concerns directly. We will also be arranging ward walks with women to identify areas where they feel unsafe and to help shape how and where we patrol. Dates for proactive operations are already scheduled, and updates and results will be shared here as activity takes place.
