Cracking down on kerb-crawlers
Round about now seventeen men should be up at South West Magistrates court for kerb-crawling (and other offences). They were all arrested as part of an operation, jointly funded by Wandsworth Council, undertaken last month on Bedford Hill. I was invited along on one of the nights to see it in action. The plan was [...]
Congratulations to East Putney
The council and police won the Metropolitan Police’s snappily titled Problem Oriented Partnership Award last night for their work talking problems in Strathan Close, Putney. A great example of how effective targeted work can be in solving, rather than just moving a problem, the area has seen reports of anti-social behaviour drop from one per [...]
Roehampton: SNT of the year
Last night I went to the awarding of the Safer Neighbourhood Team of the year award. I was a member of the judging panel and have to say it was a hard choice, with Roehampton just pipping Fairfield to the title. Building on their special award at last year’s Enterprising Roehampton awards. Both teams received [...]
Weekly wrap-up, 11 December
Although I usually use this last post of the week to witter on about the past week I’m going start off with an event two weeks ago. Battersea Police Ball I can’t believe I forgot to mention this last week, but on Saturday 28 November I attended, along with about 1,500 other people, the Battersea [...]
Weekly wrap-up, 27 November
Campaigning I’m not sure why but it seems like campaigning seems to be taking up more and more time, although looking through the diary we’ve been keeping up a fairly stiff pace through the summer months. It is perhaps the onset of darker and considerably colder nights makes an evening on the doorstep seem a [...]

They will be there to discuss any policing, crime or anti-social behaviour issues you may have. If you can’t get along their contact details are available on the [...]
Weekly wrap-up, 11 September
Neighbourhood policing Nothing to do with Wandsworth, but the picture is the badge of Grimsby Borough Police, which I spotted on a display at the National Policing Improvement Agency this week. Nothing directly to do with Wandsworth, of course, I spotted because I stood for Great Grimsby in 2001. But it is a little reminder [...]
Weekly report, week ending 12 June
I’m posting weekly reports as an experiment to see how well received they are. You can read some of my thoughts about it in a blog-post I wrote before commencing the reports. My main concern is that these reports will, by necessity, have to omit so much routine council work they are not a good [...]
Free crime prevention advice tomorrow
The council’s Community Safety Division, in partnership with the police Safer Neighbourhood Team, are running their crime prevention roadshow at Asda Clapham Junction tomorrow (Saturday 18th). Staff from Community Safety and the police will both be on hand to offer assistance or advice on all matters relating to crime prevention. There’s usually free balloons for [...]
…and a new police team for Clapham Junction
And after last week’s news that Tooting were getting their own town centre police team comes the news that Clapham Junction is getting one too. I had known it was coming, but had understood it was some time away. In fact, I’ve now been told the police team will be starting within the next month [...]
