West Heath, Bexley

Current local priorities

• Focus on reducing anti-social behaviour (ASB) in identified hotspot locations, including the Pantiles and local open spaces, through targeted patrols, early intervention, enforcement activity, and partnership working to improve community safety and public confidence.
• Address and reduce drug use across the ward, with a particular focus on identified hotspot locations including the Pantiles, Tor Road, Bognor Road, Lodge Hill, Orchard Avenue, Axminster Crescent and Saltash Road. This will be achieved through high-visibility patrols, intelligence-led enforcement activity, community engagement, and the use of appropriate powers to disrupt drug-related behaviour and associated anti-social conduct.
• Tackle speeding and vehicle-related anti-social behaviour (ASB) across the ward through a combination of enforcement, education, and community engagement. Activity will focus on identified problem locations, utilising targeted patrols, speed enforcement initiatives, engagement with motorists, and partnership working to improve road safety and reduce nuisance vehicle use.
