Local Priorities Drug dealing/ drug use Message

I wanted to provide an update regarding drug dealing / drug use, which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

Today, after a call to police reporting two males possibly taking drugs on Bonham Rd, officers including our Superintendent, Mr Premnath, responded quickly stopping and searching two males found matching the description given to police. Both were given advice about issues of drug dealing in the area which was raised by residents at our ward panel meeting last week and asked to leave the area which they did.

Should you wish to make the team aware of any concerns please do so on Met Engage or come along to our next ward panel meeting.
