Local Priorities

Motor vehicle thefts, theft from and vehicle interference are often accompanied with violence. This is the main focus of concern on the ward and we will investigate each report extensively.

Issued: 6 Feb 2026

Status Update

We will continue to thoroughly investigate all reports of vehicle crime by leafleting, door knocking and sending out email appeals in an effort to identify CCTV and witnesses which will allow us to identify the offender(s).

Actioned: 6 May 2026

Met Engage is a new engagement tool to interact with the public, provide crime updates and prevention advice, and inform local residents of the issues their local SNT are dealing with.

Issued: 5 Sep 2025

Status Update

We had over 2600 contacts on the previous system which has since been decommissioned, whereas the current Met Engage sign-ups are at 400. The team will advertise the platform and conduct door-to-door to increase members.

Actioned: 6 May 2026
