Cannon Hill Safer Neighbourhoods Team Newsletter 28th June 2009 Cannon Hill Safer Neighbourhoods Team current priorities are: > Antisocial behaviour by Youths > Burglary > Criminal Damage UPDATES Cannon Hill Common The common is extremely busy at this time of the year with people utilizing the facilities for a number of different activities. As a result Cannon Hill Team have increased our patrols to ensure that people are acting in a considerate manner, allowing everyone to enjoy their experience. In line with this we have recently dispersed a group of youths who were acting in a disorderly manner, and prevented another group from using a disposable BBQ. Hillcross Avenue In response to complaints of speeding, Merton Council have introduced a 20mph speed limit in order to protect pedestrians from Hillcross Primary School. Following consultation with councilors and local residents Cannon Hill SNT have started to enforce the limit by periodic speed checks using a hand held speed detection device. In doing so, it is our intention to make the road safer for everyone. Vulnerable Vehicle Scheme In a bid to reduce motor vehicle crime, Cannon Hill SNT are asking residents to ensure that they do not leave valuables on display and that all windows and doors are secured on unattended vehicles. Under a new Vulnerable Vehicle Scheme, we will be contacting the people to provide crime prevention advice where valuables are on show in their vehicle. This will be done in person at the time, or if this has not been possible an advice letter will be sent to their home address. John Tibaldi PS 89VW
