Neighbourhood Priorities

Knife-Enabled Robbery - King's Road / Sloane Square.
S: To reduce knife-enabled watch robberies around Sloane Square and King’s Road.
M: Measured by the number of such crimes reported to police.
A: This can be achieved by the continuation of Op Vigrid targeted robbery patrols, high-visibility foot and cycle patrols, targeted use of stop and search tactics, and target hardening - crime prevention advice via social media and community engagement events.
R: This issue has been prevalent across AW BCU, and recent months have seen offences spreading from Westminster into RBKandC. A number of these offences have received viral coverage on social media, and this type of crime continues to be a matter of concern for WP members.
T: This will be measured and reviewed at the next WP meeting (every three months).

S: To reduce violence against the person offences (assaults) on the King’s Road.
M: Measured by the number of such crimes reported to police in this area.
A: This can be achieved by a combination of high-visibility foot and cycle patrols, targeted use of stop and search tactics, engagement with local businesses and residents to increase and improve crime prevention strategies, and use of social media to improve target hardening amongst the local public.
R: These types of offences are not the most prevalent on this ward, and the incidence of such crimes had dropped slightly in November, and then again in December. The number of offences then rose in January, and remains an area of concern to WP members.
T: This will be measured and reviewed at the next WP meeting (every three months).
