Even though Wandsworth is a very safe borough it is still important to be aware of your surroundings. We have put together this section to help you stay safe and give you advice on what to do in the event of an incident. We have also provided information on how you can help keep your area safe for you and your community. If you want to know about anti-social behaviour that is not connected to our estates or residents then please see the council's anti-social behaviour unit's pages for information. Estate Services are on hand to help deal with anti-social behaviour on estates. If you complain about a noisy neighbour or anti-social behaviour an estate services officer will visit the site, monitor the situation and collect evidence of any problem. This evidence may be used in court. A report is then sent to the relevant managing agent who will take over the responsibility for dealing with the complaint. Estate Services carry out regular checks on estates to look for abandoned and untaxed cars. If you spot an abandoned vehicle, chances are it has already been reported and is in the process of being tracked back to its owner. But, just in case it hasn't, please report any suspect vehicles on 020 8871 6709. If you have any information which could lead the council and the police to drug dealers on estates, please let the council know about it. All information on the whereabouts of drug dealers will be dealt with in complete confidence - residents who give these vital leads will not be required to give evidence in court. If you have any information about drugs on your estate then call the confidential drugs hotline 020 8871 7373. Spotted some graffiti on your estate? Contact the graffiti section - they will arrange for the graffiti to be removed free of charge. They also offer a reward to anyone who supplies information that leads to the successful prosecution of a graffiti vandal. In emergencies please call 999. Some other useful sites Ageconcern.org.uk |
