Shacklewell

The local community has expressed concerns regarding the issue of robbery and phone snatches in the local area. Residents have stated that there is an issue with phone snatching taking place particularly along the A10 and Stoke Newington High Street junction with the Crossway N16. The issue appears to take place at various times of the day in which members of the public have reported their phones snatched from their hands.

This is a long term goal and the safer neighbourhood team will set up a number of operations to target this.

The safer neighbourhood team will continue to conduct regular patrols, engaging with shops and residents to safeguard those in the area.

Also, the local SNT will work closely with the local council enforcement officers, as well as the local Town Centre Team in order to identify prolific offenders.
We will also be running a number of operations in and around the area to target prolific offenders.

Local residents have expressed concerns around ASB, drug taking and antisocial behaviour which is happening around Shacklewell Row/Hindle House/ Somerford Grove. There are a lot of reports of cars sitting idling or driving at high speed.

We will be including these area in our daily patrols and also changing our shifts to focus on the target times that this ASB is occurring. We are doing multi-agency work alongside the council to improve fencing, building access and parking restrictions.

ASB and Traffic issues around the pedestrian crossing on the A10 junction with Palatine Road. This is used by school children on their way to school and are frequently put in danger by cyclists going through the red light. We have a similar issued on St Matthias Road with cyclists ignoring direction from the Crossing Patrol Officer causing a danger to children on their way to school.

Officers are patrolling the crossing at regular intervals and issuing tickets to offenders who continue to contravene directions and traffic signals.
