The next meeting of the Larkhall Ward Safer Neighbourhoods Panel will take place on Wednesday 4th June at 7pm in St Johns Church Hall, St Johns Church, Clapham Road SW4.
The Safer Neighbourhoods Panel, which consists of a dozen or so local Larkhall resident representatives, meets every three motnhs to discuss local policing issues and to decide what priorities the local Safer Neighbourhoods Police Team are to follow for the next quarter of the year. The Larkhall Safer Neighbourhoods Police Team are all based at the Clapham Police Station in Union Grove and spend all of their time tackling issues in Larkhall ward. This will be the first chance for many panel members to meet the new officer in charge of the Team, Sergeant Graham Williamson.
The Team is a permanent fixture in Larkhall, not a 'quick fix' brought in to respond to local changes in crime and disorder. These officers work at grass roots level in addition to London's other policing teams and specialist units. The Team’s priorities are decided by the ward’s Safer Neighbourhoods Panel. This Panel decides – in liaison with local authorities and other local organisations – what local issues the local officers will tackle.
The three current priorities for Larkhall are anti-social behaviour in the Atherfold Road area, commercial premises that cause local problems, and youth liaison.
