Autumn Safer Neigbourhoods Update

At last week’s Safer Neighbourhoods Ward Panel meeting a small number of residential and motor vehicle burglaries were reported by the Police in the Triangle between July and October. There were five residential burglaries; one on Blackheath Road, two on Egerton Drive and two on Greenwich South Street. Although any burglary is one too many, these figures are encouraging in that they continue the downward trend compared to this time last year and since our Beat the Burglar leaflet was delivered to households in the Spring which you can refer to here. Beat the Burglar

Over the same period, there were two motor vehicle thefts around Devonshire Drive/Guildford Grove (probably mopeds) and one theft from a motor vehicle in the Catherine Grove area. Motor vehicle crime including the theft of mopeds, motorbikes and bicycles continues to be an ongoing issue throughout Greenwich.

Crime figures are listed on the met police website - select Text view for Greenwich West.

Unfortunately we have also been notified of some anti-social behaviour incidents. If you experience noise nuisance or behaviour which adversely affects your day-to-day living you can contact the Council’s anti social behaviour team on 020 8921 4411 or email community-safety@greenwich.gov.uk

We are also happy to pass on any concerns you may have to the Police and can do so anonymously, please feel free to get in touch via the contact us page on the website. 

We are very pleased to announce that our Beat the Burglar leaflet and the ATA Security Hub have been commended by the Police as an example of good practice and our details will be included in a welcome letter to all new Neighbourhood Watch Coordinators on the Borough.

SSBC sponsored walk registration 22nd

How the front of the church looks now

The South Street Baptist Church says:
'If you'd like to join our sponsored walk on Saturday 29th October, you need to register your place by Saturday 22nd October at www.southstreetchurch.org.uk/about-us/support-us

'The walk is to raise money to provide access ramps and other facilities for wheelchairs, prams and pushchairs. All funds raised will go towards making the church safer and more accessible for people of all abilities.

'The walk will start at the church at 10am on 29th October, with a choice of two walking lengths - five and ten miles - along the river. All ages and abilities are welcome, and you don't have to be a member of SSBC to join in.

'There is an entry fee to go towards the day's costs: £10 for 12-year-olds and over, £6 for younger children. You will then get a free tee-shirt and access to a downloadable sponsorship form so you can collect donations. Or your sponsors can donate at www.mydonate.bt.com/events/ssbcwalk  Donations should be submitted within two weeks after the walk.

'Time to start collecting pledges and stretching those limbs!'
