Foot patrol (29/01/2026)

On an afternoon that saw 3 keys left in front doors, all of Rush Green was covered, with college-based ASB patrols conducted along the way (8.41 miles).

Before arriving in Rush Green's Fels Farm Mews (12.37pm), The Point (p), a swim on the lakes off The Chase was checked on. The area has recently emerged as a college ASB hotspot, including cannabis use.

Eastbrook Drive was covered, followed by the west side of Dagenham Road, including Fourth Avenue (1.05pm & 1.35pm), Croxford Way (1.20pm) and Thorntons Farm Avenue (1.28pm, p).

The Dagenham Road flats were next (1.34pm, p), before full coverage of the east side of RM7, which included Gorseway, Footpath 155 (1.55pm) and Lilac Gardens.

Heading back through Harveys Lane, every street in Parish Fields was ticked off, from Foxglove Road (2.25pm) to Bluebell Close (2.47pm, p).

Great Cullings, Valentines Way (3.01pm) and the May and Baker Social Club concluded the 3-hour outing.
