Is Valence safe?

Current local priorities

• The Met is working tirelessly, using a range of tactics and technologies, to tackle and prevent violence. Bearing down on violent crime on the streets of London is a top priority for the Met, which is why we are working tirelessly to identify and pursue offenders, help bring perpetrators to justice, support victims, engage and reassure the public, and keep our communities safe. Priority - tackling street violence across Valence Ward.
• Valence SNT have conducted targeted patrols around The Fiddlers after reports of street drinking and possible drug dealing. Valence officers continue to conduct targeted patrols in the area including Becontree Avenue, Green Lane and Motts Lane. Valence SNT are aware there are a group of street drinkers who congregate outside William Hill and continue to pay attention and deal with any incidents accordingly. As there is not a PSPO in force police are not able to issue penalties to those seen drinking on the street, however the team are working closely with staff at William Hill and other premises to reduce ASB in the area.
• Dealing with ASB caused by E-scooters and E-bikes within Valence Ward, specifically in Valence Park and the surrounding roads.
