Lower Morden Safer Neighbourhoods Team

Your Safer Neighbourhoods Team is a group of Met police officers dedicated to serving your community. The team is made up of officers based in your area or 'ward', supported by additional officers from the wider area.

We work closely with local authorities, community leaders and residents to decide our policing priorities for the area. This helps us to find useful, long-term solutions to local problems, while maintaining our wider focus on reducing crime across London.

Motor vehicle thefts, theft from and vehicle interference are often accompanied with violence. This is the main focus of concern on the ward and while a ward wide issue we will investigate each report extensively.

We will continue to thoroughly investigate all reports of vehicle crime by leafleting, door knocking and sending out email appeals in an effort to identify CCTV and witnesses which will allow us to identify the offender/s.

ASB

Assembly Halls Over the past number of months we have seen an increase of ASB in the Assembly Halls car park, Lower Morden Lane. This is predominantly fuelled by large groups congregating and selling vehicles.

The team will continue our work to tackle this issue by dedicated patrols and utilising various ASB powers and liaising with our partners to shore up the security of the car park.
