Combating Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) is a high Mayoral priority
and is a priority for Tower Hamlets Homes (THH). In 2017/18 the
Council invested £2.458 million in a range of ASB initiatives
of which £1.4 million was invested in the 3-year funding of a
Police team specifically tasked with providing additionality to existing commitments on LBTH
estates. This investment was secured via a Section 92 Agreement
with MOPAC for a match funded police team made up of 2 sergeants
and 12 constables under Metpatrol
Plus.
The current funding under Metpatrol
Plus expires in September 2020. Given the level of re-assurance the
police team has brought to communities, Cabinet authority is being
sought to enter into a further 3-year agreement with MOPAC under
the “Partnership Plus Agreement”.
The report also seeks Cabinet approval for the cost of additional
services provided by the Police team and Parkguard to be passed on both to Leaseholders and
Tenants.
