St Pancras & Somers Town, Camden

Current local priorities

• Drug use and its associated anti-social behaviour have seen a rise in our ward, and the negative impact that this has on communities has been reflected in conversations held with community members. Regular patrols will take place targeting hotspot locations and utilising stop and search powers. The team will also build a greater intelligence picture regarding drug supply on our ward, to enable pro-active enforcement measures.
• To reduce theft snatches in the streets between St Pancras and Euston British Rail stations within the St Pancras & Somers Town ward. This can be measured by the number of such crimes reported to police. This will be achieved by operations targeting robbery hotspot areas, high-visibility foot and cycle patrols, targeted use of stop and search tactics, and target hardening - crime prevention advice and engagement via social media.
• Creating a safe environment for women and girls on our ward is a priority for the team. Whether is is working with partnership agencies to ensure streets and public places are well lit at night, or pressing for more late shifts, we want our ward to be safe for women and girls.
