A recent meeting about anti-social behaviour on Lambeth Walk highlighted the fact that people are confused about how to go about reporting it.
Ensuring anti-social behaviour is reported is crucial for the authorities to be able to do something about it.
Here are some contacts for various situations:
When a serious crime is being committed always call 999
To report a non-urgent crime, however minor, call the police's new London-wide number: 0300 123 1212. They will try to deal with the problem as soon as they can. You can also call the Prince's ward Safer Neighbourhoods Team directly on their mobile: 07920 233837 (though they don't run a 24 hour service) or office 020 8649 2512
If a neighbour is making a noise overnight that you want to stop, call Lambeth's noise patrol: 020 7926 5999. They operate from 9pm to 3am Sunday to Thursday, and 10pm to 5am on Friday and Saturday. During normal office hours you can also report noise: 020 7926 5999
To find a permanent solution to anti-social behaviour it's best to keep a diary of the incidents and report every incident to the relevant authority. They can then take action:
Lambeth Living Estates (eg Springfield Estate, Fenwick Estate, Clapham Road Estate, Gaskell Street estate): 020 7926 6000
Hyde Southbank Homes (eg Stockwell Gardens Estate, Grantham Road estate, Bellevue Mansions): 020 7346 6500
For private properties call Lambeth Council's anti-social behaviour unit: 020 7926 4000

Lambeth's noise patrol is in my experience pointless. The opening hours miss out much of the evening and by the time anyone attends the disturbance is usually over.
Why isn't anti-social behaviour the responsibility of the police?
