Wandsworth Town, Wandsworth

Current local priorities

• Violence Against Person
• Shoplifting To reduce ASB offences and shoplifting offences within the shopping centre and Garratt Lane area. Retail crime (shoplifting, assaults against staff and criminal damage) have increased year on year. In line with the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee, these crime types and associated issues such as begging, homelessness and substance misuse will be treated as a priority.
• Anti-social Behaviour Increase in summer ASB at Ram Quarter relating to the Night Time Economy. ***EMERGING ISSUE*** With recent warm sunshine and long summer evenings, there has been a marked increase in reports of ASB from within the Ram Quarter. In support of Wandsworth Summer plans, this will be treated as a priority in the upcoming weeks.
