Local Priorities Anti Social Behaviour Message

Please review the following update regarding Anti Social Behaviour which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

 

Youth carrying and using catapults against the residing Wildlife in Priory Gardens and randomly in the streets, causing damage to vehicles and other property continue to be a problem across the Orpington Ward. The Orpington Safer Neighbourhood Team continue to conduct daily patrols of Priory Gardens and surrounding area's, which includes both Uniformed and Plain Clothed patrols to help catch, deter persons responsible. Any imaged caught are shared with the local schools to help identify and prosecute offenders.

Antisocial behaviour can come in many forms and can require support from more organisations than just the police. There are 13 different types of antisocial behaviour that we may be able to help with, including abandoned vehicles, littering or drugs paraphernalia and street drinking. A full list of what we categorise as antisocial behaviour is available on our website.  

If you have witnessed or experienced antisocial behaviour, you can report it online.
