The questionnaire has two questions about policing and the rest are about your gender/ethnicity/age/health!
This is the first policing question:
"Would you prefer to see an increase in the number of Police Officers patrolling the streets?"
And this is the second:
"Would you prefer to see an increase in the number of Stop and Searches/Accounts conducted in this area?"
As I have no idea how many Stop and Searches are done, how am I supposed to answer?
Has this become the season of useless public consultation questionnaires?! |

Lewisham’s Safer Neighbourhood Teams are being reviewed and there’s a survey you can fill in, either online or from libraries. Further details here: http://www.lewisham.gov.uk/NewsAndEvents/News/Safe rNeighbourhoodPoliceTeams.htm (I’m pleased to say it has some decent questions on it, unlike the questionnaire I was moaning about before Christmas.)
The deadline for responding to the survey is 6 March 2007.
They intend to set up ward panels for each Safer Neighbourhood Team, which will assist in identifying and addressing local priorities. Any volunteers?! |

Good points!
The stop and search one is a bit bizarre. In general it seems to have suffered as a tactic, but what are we supposed to think? "I will not be happy until I see youths being spreadeagled on patrol car bonnets or being made to stand with their hands against the wall and frisked in Forest hill town centre on a regular basis"?!
Recent posts notwithstanding I'm not convinced there is a serious problem in the area that requires "an increase in stop and search".
It would also seem a bit pointless if, as Les reports, they are merely cautioned when caught in possession of an offensive weapon on suspicion of actually committing or abetting a serious offence, never mind just being found on the street with something. |

Please let's not forget that quite a lot of SE23 is in Perry Vale Ward and covered by the equally excellent Safer Neighbourhood Team led by Phil Moore with the next meeting on 28/02/07 at 7-9pm, and being held at Sydenham Police Station. The main item on the agenda is "Terrorism Awareness Briefing" with guest speaker PC Ian Blanchard |
