Current priorities
Ward Priority #1 - Highbury Corner has a large amount of offences associated with it. These include theft, robbery, ASB and drug use. The Local Ward Panel has deemed this an area of priority. There is an enormous amount of through traffic which results in thefts and robberies. An increased presence will detract and deter such offenders from coming to this area to commit crime.
Set: 2026-05-12
Ward Priority #2 - Arundel Square and Paradise Park Open Spaces - Drug use and Violence against Women and Girls. Residents have highlighted that they see both drug dealing and drug use at various hours of the day. In the winter months residents highlight concerns with lighting and feeling unsafe.
Set: 2026-05-12
Ward Priority #3 - Court Gardens - At the recent ward panel meeting residents highlighted an increase ASB and Drug use. This includes fans on match day causing ASB. Due to the large number of reports at this location it will become a priority area
