Palmers Green Joint Day of Action with Enfield Partners

PS Mehmet Ganidagli, A/PS Ben Flint, officers from the local Neighbourhood Wards, NSL Parking Enforcement officers and LBE CSU officers worked in partnership in a joint day of action in the Palmers Green - Green Lanes / Aldermans Hill area.

Gina Needs (Cabinet Member for Community Safety & Cohesion), Rick Jewell (Cabinet Member for Transport and Waste), Rasheed Sadegh (Chair of Community Independent Advisory Group) and Detective Supt. Bardetti were present to observe.

This initiative was in direct response to concerns raised by the community regarding ASB, E-bike related crime and inappropriate sexualised behaviours of males outside cafes towards passing females.

The aim was to provide a strong, visible, multi‑agency presence and take proportionate enforcement action where appropriate. All partners committed to improving safety, trust, and confidence in the area.

During the operation, Officers from LBE Community Safety Unit, supported by police officers, visited several cafés along Aldermans Hill. Concerns were raised with café owners and staff regarding reports that their customers were engaging in inappropriate and unwanted sexualised behaviours. They were advised of their responsibilities and potential enforcement.  Safeguarding advice was also provided.

The day of action resulted in several positive outcomes, including:

The operation was highly successful with positive community feedback.  The partnership approach demonstrated the effectiveness of joint working between police, council services, and community representatives.
