Speeding Operations
The police recently undertook a speeding operation on Green Lane. The Norbury Park Safer Neighbourhood Team would like to hear where your concerns for speeding are, so we can arrange them effectively to where the communities concerns are. Hannah.Collins@met.police.uk
They will be trying to conduct Speeding Ops more regularly. They will ask for anyone who knows of speeding on a certain road, and the times where they often take place. This would benefit the SNT in where it chooses to do the next one.
They cannot promise they will do every road due to the safety risks involved/ There are only certain types of roads, where they can do speeding ops, but any recommendations would be welcome.

Knife Crime
There has been enormous media coverage on the Croydon knife crime crisis. South Norwood councillor Stella Nabukeera spoke about it at the Labour Party Conference. (Inside Croydon. 13 October). Hopefully the Safer Neighbourhood Board which meets on 26 October for the first time for many months will be discussing why all the efforts and money put into anti-knife crime work do not seem to be working. I have sent the senior officer organising the meeting the link to my comments back in 2018 – https://historyandsocialaction.blogspot.com/search?q=knife+crime
