Heath

Heath Ward’s drugs ASB in the three towers (Laburnum House, Peverel House, Hawkwell House).

Issued 03 September 2026

The Team have proposed to conduct frequent patrols, targeting individuals’ intent on committing offences such as anti-social behaviour and drug use in communal areas. On identifying offenders, officers will work with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham around implementation of other tactics including Community Protection Warnings and for those most persistent applying for Criminal Behaviour Orders or issuing Community Protection Notices.
Ongoing ASB drugs issues occurring in the high rises has been identified as a complex long term ongoing issue that would require a multi-agency problem solving approach. High visibility foot patrols and community engagement/awareness help reduce ASB but greater working with Barking and Dagenham authority is required to resolve this issue.
