The Ravensbury SNT in partnership with the Ravensbury Ward Panel has agreed on the following ward priorities.
• Anti Social behaviour in general
• Anti Social behaviour by motorist’s
• School Truancy
Bishopsford Art College has now closed for the summer months. The College and Ravensbury SNT said goodbye and best wishes to Schools Officer PC Van Cuylenburg who has now retired from the Metropolitan Police. When the students return in September they will be greeted by a new Schools Officer PC Hamilton, many of the students had an opportunity to be introduced to PC Hamilton during the final week of term.
Community Engagement
Sunday 11th July the team were in Ravensbury Park supporting the District Scouts raft building/ fun race event. Definitely a date for the diary next year.
NEW REPORTING LINE FOR VICTIMS AND WITNESSES OF HATE CRIME
Tackling hate crime is a priority for Merton, which is why Merton has teamed up with Stop Hate UK to provide emotional and practical support for anyone, who has experienced hate crime.
Whatever your age, race, disability, sexual orientation or whether you are transgender, no one has the right to intimidate, hurt or harass you because they perceive you to be different.
Merton defines a hate crime as a ‘criminal offence which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice based on a person’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion or disability’.
If you feel you have been a victim of this crime you can report it to Stop Hate UK 24 hours a day. Stop Hate UK are an independent charity and everything you tell them is kept confidential. You have the option to remain anonymous if you wish. Stop Hate UK can be contacted by phone, email, text, post and online. Stop Hate UK can speak to victims about hate crime in their preferred language if required.

Operation Lockdown
Monday 19th July Merton Police saw the start of Operation Lockdown, a three-month burglary initiative that will employ a range of tactics to disrupt burglary, gain intelligence and arrest and convict offenders in identified hotspots across the Borough.
Whilst the number of burglary offences across the Borough remains relatively low, there has been a recent rise in the number of opportunist burglaries where entry has been gained through open windows and unlocked doors. Many of these could be avoided. Residents are reminded to lock doors and windows when they go out, to keep ground floor doors and windows closed and secure when they go to bed and not to leave expensive and valuable items in view of passers by. Simple measures and some extra care will go along way to preventing you from becoming a victim of burglary.
Remember if you see or hear anything suspicious call 999
The next drop-in surgery will be at the Watermeads on Wednesday 28th July 2010 between 1900 hours – 2100 hours
Followed by Saturday 31 July 2010 outside the Cafe in Morden Hall Park
between 13:00 - 15:00.
