Temple Hill

Drug dealing.

Officers have increased their activity to tackle concerns about drug dealing in the area, carrying out targeted patrols and stop and searches where there are lawful grounds. Information provided by local residents has helped officers focus their efforts on locations where concerns are greatest. Officers are also seeking a Closure Order for a property linked to suspected criminal activity. A Closure Order is a court order that can temporarily restrict access to a property where serious antisocial behaviour or criminal activity is taking place. Officers have also gathered feedback from local residents through community surveys to help better understand concerns and shape their response to this issue.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Officers continue to work with partners to tackle antisocial behaviour linked to street drinking and noise nuisance. Regular patrols are carried out in the area to deter this behaviour, provide reassurance to residents and improve community safety. Enforcement action is supported by a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), which is a legal measure used to address persistent antisocial behaviour in a specific area. As a result of ongoing work, one person believed to be a significant contributor to these issues has been arrested, and officers continue to monitor concerns raised by the community.

Nuisance vehicles.

Officers have worked closely with local residents and community representatives to build a better understanding of concerns about the use of e-scooters and e-bikes in the area. This has included attending community meetings, speaking with local councillors and gathering information from the public to help identify problem locations and those responsible. Officers have also carried out targeted patrols in areas where concerns have been raised to deter offending, identify offenders and provide reassurance to the community. Patrols and engagement activity will continue to help address the issue and improve safety for local residents.
