Theft - bike and mobile theft is prevalent on ward, generally bike theft appears to be concentrated around commercial areas with moderate to low foot fall such as Britannia leisure centre and Hoxton Square. Mobile theft is also prevalent throughout Shoreditch area especially along major roads with numerous exit points such as Old street and Great Eastern Street. Bike patrols maybe the most effective strategy to address such problems.

Daily patrols in problem locations. A mixture of high visibility and covert foot patrols will also be carried out.

Conduct regular stairwell patrols of blocks neighbouring Hoxton Street and around New City College to deter ASB. These tend to be the most frequented by youths as well as drug users causing residents to feel unsafe as well as paraphernalia littering the communal areas.

High visibility patrols within problem blocks. Police enforcement and intervention where appropriate. We will also be working with appropriate external partners including housing associations and Hackney council to tackle these issues. We encourage residents to get in touch with us either through direct contact or via 101 to discuss ASB issues across the ward. We also hold quarterly resident ward panel meetings to discuss Crime and ASB across the ward with residents.
