Someone is interested in helping us.

Excellent email this morning from Councillor Emma Jones. I had asked for advice on the most effective way of reporting the problems we have at weekends.

‘It is a good idea for residents to report to the Safer Neighbourhood Team and anti-social behaviour unit of the Council. The Safer Neighbourhood Team's email is StKatharines.Wapping.SNT@met.police.uk

and their numbers are 020 8721 2854 and 07887 821816.

The ASB unit can be contacted on 0800 917 5918 or you can report using this online form https://webforms.towerhamlets.gov.uk/AF3/an/default.aspx/RenderForm/?F.Name=Cd8QMulALNE.

The unit can also be written to at the Town Hall, Mulberry Place (AH), PO Box 55739, 5, Clove Crescent, London, UK, E14 2BG.

The priority areas with most police patrols and funding depend partly upon reports to the SNT and ASB unit, so it is a good idea for residents to do this. I am on the police priority setting panel and so I let them know what residents tell me too.’

There you have it: to influence police patrols and priorities we need to contact the SNT and ASB unit. It's great to know that a councillor who is aware of our problems sits on the police priority setting panel.

I contacted the council today to log a complaint about the noise. They said that in order to do anything they have to record and witness the disturbance themselves. There is a phone number that is available 24hours on a weekend where once called someone will come out within 1 hour to assess the situation and make a record of the offence. It is 02073647070 and they said the more they are called and the more they witness the more they can do for us.
