Neighbourhood Watch Enquiries 

21 enquiries into starting new Neighbourhood Watches are currently being followed up.   

Joan Lewis

I received a letter from Joan Lewis’ sister advising that she has not been too well and is now in sheltered accommodation.  I have sent a letter thanking Joan for all her work with Neighbourhood Watch and the Association from the committee and myself. 

Street Signs

No further update.  I am getting quite desperate now.  I have more signs on order than I have signs, plus I have around 200 signs in the office waiting to be put up by the council.  An audit of the signs put up by the council last October has been audited, this confirms that there is a major problem that needs to be sorted out and rectified before we can get the next batch put up.  John Forde is acting on this and I hope to be able to give you an update by the next newsletter.  

 

News from across the borough

Seven Sisters Transport Policing Team:  On 20^th April the Seven Sisters Transport Policing Team was launched.  The team aims to be a visible deterrent to crime and anti social behaviour in and around the station and will work closely with the existing Safer Neighbourhoods Teams, British Transport Police, Safer School Officers and local transport staff to ensure people can move around ever more safely and confidently.

Wood Green Youth Panel:  Police are launching a Youth Panel in Wood Green to give young people an opportunity to discuss issues they feel police should be tackling and how they think police could deal with the problems.  The Youth Panel will work with the adult Ward Panels for Bounds Green, Noel Park and Woodside and will give young people the opportunity to attend regular meetings with their Safer Neighbourhoods team to discuss what concerns them.

Counter-Terrorism Operation:  On 16^th April Haringey’s Safer Neighbourhoods officers and British Transport Police launched Operation Copsetic 3.  Officers were posted at and around main bus interchanges and tube and railway stations throughout the whole of Haringey, and carried out stop and searches.  Community Observers, Gerard McGrath and our own Fred Williams, accompanied officers from the Community Engagement Team and visited a number of the sites to observe how police carried out the operation.
