Foot patrol (09/03/2026)

Six college students loitering in Fourth Avenue were among those spoken to by the team this morning during ASB patrols around Rush Green (5.51 miles).

Joined by Heath SNT's Daniella, Rick and Lee headed towards RM7's Eastbrook Drive via open space coverage of the Eastbrookend Country Park (p).

Harveys Lane (11.22am, p) was checked on en route to ASB hotspots including the Thorntons Farm Avenue alley and the car port in Fourth Avenue (est. 11.32am), where a group were spoken to about recent concerns.

After dropping by the college itself, Lee and Daniella continue patrolling Dagenham Road, while Rick visited the Dagenham Road flats (11.57am, p) before speaking to 3 students in the Thorntons Farm Avenue alley (12.06pm).

Another group of 5 were also engaged with at the lakes amid reports of anti-social behaviour and drug use, although on this occasion no concerns were realised.
