On Thursday 30 April, your Ladywell Labour team attended the Ladywell Ward Safer Neighbourhood Team Panel meeting to ensure your voices are being heard and acted on.
We continue to work closely with local police and partners to keep our community safe. The agreed ward priorities remain focused on reducing robbery around Lewisham Hospital and Ladywell Fields, tackling drug-related anti-social behaviour in and around Lewisham Park including Malling, Keswick Court and Malyons Road, and addressing anti-social behaviour in our shared open spaces.
We know these are real concerns for residents, and it is important that enforcement is visible and consistent. Recent figures show 127 recorded offences, including violence, anti-social behaviour and theft, which is why sustained action remains critical.
There has also been positive progress. A recent drugs operation resulted in over 40 stop and searches with positive outcomes. A new neighbourhood watch has been set up in the Lewisham Park Towers area, and there are ongoing patrols in Ladywell Fields, including plain clothes officers working alongside local schools. During National Stalking Awareness Week, officers distributed 100 personal safety alarms as part of efforts to tackle violence against women and girls.
We also raised concerns about accessibility issues with the Met Engage platform, as well as reports of vandalism to parking machines and speeding on Vicars Hill and Chudleigh Road.
As your Labour team, we are committed to being visible, responsive and rooted in the community. We will continue to push for stronger action where it is needed and work alongside residents to make Ladywell safer for everyone.
If there are issues in your area, please do reach out or attend future meetings. Your voice matters.
