Shirley North Safer Neighbourhood Team Update
We have had a busy few shifts including searching six people for drugs and giving one of these a community resolution (like a formal warning) for the cannabis found on him.
Our current cannabis hotspots seem to be Woodmere Avenue and Tower View so we are patrolling these a number of times each shift and sending people on their way.
If there are any areas that you are aware of being regularly used by cannabis smokers/other drug users, please let us know and we will make sure that we go there when we can.
Please continue to be sensible during lockdown and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Report crime by calling 101 or in an emergency call 999.
Remember, you can also report crime online on our website: https://www.met.police.uk/

Girlguiding – Adventures at Home
Girlguiding have launched their new Adventures at Home – Activities and adventures to keep yourself occupied during this difficult time – fun for kids, adults, everyone!
Being an adventurer is a state of mind – it’s being brave and determined, supporting others and finding fun in everything we do. And it doesn’t need to stop just because we’re staying indoors.
Each week they’ll be releasing eight new activity cards – two per age group or guiding section – that you can download and use at home.
You don’t need to be a member of Girlguiding to give them a try – they’re here so all young people can have a bit of adventure at this tough time.
