Residents had the opportunity to express their safety concerns at the meeting, which included the following highlights:
- The Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) will increase patrolling of Mercer Court to deter youths loitering in the parking garage.
- PC May recommended in his crime prevention report to fence off the Ben Jonson exit by the canal, to reduce one of the escape routes for perpetrators of anti-social behaviour.
- Shaique Choudhury (East Thames Neighbourhood Manager) suggested hiring a security guard firm on a trial basis for the summer months.
- If residents are disturbed by children playing in the courtyards, please contact your Neighbourhood Manager to complain about noise nuisance.
- Residents should not let strangers into the building, not even people distributing leaflets or menus.
