Current priorities
Robberies and Phone Snatches in Crystal Palace
We will be increasing high visibility patrols in the Crystal Palace/Anerley area in response to an increase in Robberies and phone snatches.
Set: 2026-06-16
Antisocial Behaviour - vehicle and drug related
We will be using a proactive approach to tackle both drug related and vehicle related ASB. This will involve enforcement and seizure of vehicles being used in an antisocial manner and targeting known drug users/hotspots for drug use.
Set: 2026-06-16
VAWG - Violence Against Women and Girls
We will be increasing high visibility patrols, particularly around our open green spaces such as Crystal Palace Park and Betts Park. We will hold regular VAWG events for residents to highlight any concerns they may have. We will be responsive to any intelligence around perpetrators of VAWG on our ward.
