Neighbourhood Priorities

Reduce Anti-social Behaviour and violence throughout the Brixton Acre Lane ward. There are concerns about drug dealing and using in specific areas including residential roads. Which also can result in rough sleeping and increased littering. SNT officers have ensured that they are performing targeted patrols in order to tackle this anti-social behaviour and drug use in peak times. Officers have also been referring individuals. In addition to this, SNT officers have conducted joint patrols with Lambeth Council rough sleeping officers in order to identify these individuals and offer them the support that is needed.
